    For the ultimate creamy mashed potatoes, ensure you don't over-mix the potatoes once cooked! Over-mixing will cause the potatoes to become 'gluey' and sticky. Mix until only just combined to keep them creamy and light.

    What are the best potatoes for mashed potato?

    Any variety of 'mashing' potato is suitable (such as sebago, desiree, pontiac, nicola or russet). In Australia, the 'dirty' unwashed potatoes (sebago) are perfect for using.

    Yes, you can. Allow it to cool completely and then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave from frozen or defrosted.
