Can you freeze mashed potatoes? I was thinking about making a LARGE batch and freezing so we can use portions as we need without making them each time.

You say your potatoes turned runny after freezing this time and they are used for progies add instant potato flakes to your potatoes.
I do this when I have the same problem you do for progies.
Stir in afew till the thickness you need.
This works great.

I have the problem of runny potatoes tonight that I froze and now don't know what to do? They're filler for pierogis for Christmas and don't want to have to make 5 pounds again tonight.

I make twice baked stuffed potatoes & freeze them all the time. I make 16-20 at a time. After mashing,add chopped green onion, crumbled bacon (or bacon bits), cheese, or anything else you would like. Fill skins, wrap w/Saran and freeze. When ready to use, just unwrap, top with a little butter (or butter spray) and more cheese and microwave until hot. Enjoy!

Yes, I freeze potatoes, however I do not put anything in them until after I defrost them. I cook the potatoes in bite size chunks then I can use them in many ways; fried, soup, mashed, etc....

No, I tried it and the texture turned out strange. It could; however, have been because I use condensed milk in that recipe.

My mom does this and it works great. It's so handy when you can't think of anything else to make and you're in a hurry.

Yes you can freeze mashed potatos. They freeze quite well I have done it several times. All you need to do is make your large portion the way you want and put them in containers the size you want and freeze. I used to freeze different types ie cheese garlic etc and label them so I will get the flavour I need when I need it. This is a great time saver.

Can mashed potatoes be frozen without altering taste or texture? Thank you in advance for your help! jmz2005 from Illinois

RE: Freezing Mashed Potatoes

Yes, but I use cream cheese and butter instead of milk. The milk would not freeze well and the potatoes would be runny. With the cream cheese I know I can serve my mashed taters to company and not worry about the texture, (08/26/2006)

RE: Freezing Mashed Potatoes

Yes, but I use chicken broth. I usually have the broth on hand and they defrost and heat up perfectly. You can use the boil in bag method and just boil the zipper freezer bag (if you use). (08/26/2006)

I USE MILK & MARGARINE & IT FREEZES VERY NICELY. YOU JUST HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE MORE LIQUID WHEN WARMING UP (08/28/2006)

RE: Freezing Mashed Potatoes

I use a small scoop so sizes are uniform, put them on wax paper covered cookie sheet and place in freezer about 4-5 hours, then put all in Ziploc bag. This way I can use as much or as little as I need. Put what I need in the microwave, spritz with water and heat. No difference noticed. JoanDogs (08/28/2006)
