I’ve occasionally had trouble when I freeze mashed potatoes…they like to turn pretty liquidy. I think if you stir some sour cream into them before freezing, they tend to do better.

Do you only put in the potatoes or do you add water, butter, milk or anything else?

We peel our potatoes, slice them then put them in the crockpot on high. Then they
are done whenever everything else is and you just have to mash them. If you are
going to put themon all day use med.

You can also make your potatoes earlier in the day and keep them warm in the crockpot on low. Many of my Thanksgiving items are crockpot friendly-I use one for gravy, one for mashed potatoes, and one for stuffing.

Another trick is to make up your mashed potatoes in advance and freeze. They reheat very well (either on stove or in mircrowave). I usually reheat and then add milk as needed to desired consistency. You can freeze at least a month ahead of time, maybe longer. Ours never last that long though, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!
