Make-A Ahead & Storage Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a hand mixer?
A: Lightly—but overbeating releases starch, making potatoes gluey. Stick to a masher or ricer for fluffiness.
Q: No whole milk?
A: Use 2% or even warmed broth—but whole milk or half-and-half gives the richest texture.
Q: Lumpy potatoes?
A: Cut evenly, cook until very tender, and mash while hot.
