Notes

Storage:
Fridge: Mashed potatoes will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you reheat mashed potatoes, they tend to dry out a little. So you may need to add a little extra sour cream, butter, or a splash of milk.
Frozen: You can store mashed potatoes in the freezer for up to 6 months. Allow the mashed potatoes to thaw in the fridge a day or two before serving, then reheat on the stove top or microwave.
