For everyday meals I will keep the butter or cream to about 1/4 of all liquid I add. When I have company over or for holidays I will make the potatoes with butter or cream content of 50% of all liquids added because I want them to be extra good.

Are you the one making mashed potatoes? – Then who else better to decide on how you want them to be made!? Go ahead and find your favorite proportion or ratio!
- Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pot before your last whip to ensure that there are no large chunks of potato stuck on the bottom.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with some chives, green onion, chopped parsley or red pepper flakes for garnish.
Will Mashed Potatoes Reheat Well?
I often get asked about freezing and reheating this recipe, whether you want to make these mashed potatoes ahead of time, or simply have too many leftovers to eat here’s my advise.
Freezing mashed potatoes makes them more watery, so I try not to freeze leftovers. But, they will keep well for a couple day in the fridge. When you’re ready to reheat, just pop them in the microwave or rehat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of milk, just make sure to stir the potatoes several times for an even reheat.
