Leftover Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Reheat them in the microwave or on the stove. They’re also great to top a shepherd’s pie or to use as a topping to a turkey pot pie. If you don’t have time to roast garlic, slice 10-12 cloves of garlic and add them to the water when boiling the potatoes. Drain and mash them with the potatoes. You can freeze mashed potatoes for up to a year. They retain their quality as long as they have lots of nice fat in them (butter and cream). To Freeze leftovers, place them in freezer bags, squeeze out the air, and store them flat. No need to thaw them first to reheat them. Use the microwave on a medium setting or heat up in the oven.
