potato

[Holmesy]

can mashed potato be frozen then reheated ?

[heathfield]

Absolutely!

[Greymalkin]

Yes. I do this quite often when I have a small amount left from one meal. I think the secret is not to make it too wet when mashing with milk and then to give it a stir-through after re-heating in the microwave (having defrosted beforehand)
Hope this helps.

Yes ~ I do this quite a lot too, as I tend to make far too much mash for one meal.

The advice above is spot-on.

[Holmesy]

thank you for the answers ... I feel reassured - and less wasteful now !

Holmesy - I take those little bits of leftovers and put them in a plastic container - freeze them. Then when you need a quick lunch or dinner for one and don't want to cook - straight from the freezer to the microwave. Much better than just a sandwich:)
