Can mashed potatoes be made ahead of time?

Whether sweet potatoes or regular potatoes, mashed potatoes are a great dish to make ahead of time!

Simply place in an airtight container in the fridge and when ready to reheat, place in an oven safe dish and heat at 350F until heated thoroughly.

Once fully heated, add 1-2 tablespoons of butter or ghee and milk (dairy free or not!) to make them as creamy and delicious as freshly made!
