Notes
- Do not overmix the mashed potatoes - The more you work mashed potatoes, the gluier they become because more starch is released.
- If your potatoes go cold, heat them up again (in warm water, or in a microwave) and then proceed to mash them.
- Leftover mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
