Notes
Storage - Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing these potatoes due to the texture changes that occur along with the added dairy ingredients.
To reheat - To reheat, microwave single portions in small increments of time or on the stove in a skillet until warmed through.
Mixing - Take care to not over-beat the potatoes while utilizing an electric mixer to prevent them from acquiring a “gummy” texture. It is best to mix a few strokes at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
