How long do mashed potatoes last in freezer?

Mashed potatoes are best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze them for later use. Here's a breakdown of how long they last in the freezer:

* Freezing: Up to 2-3 months in the freezer.

Important factors to consider:

* Freezing method: Freezing mashed potatoes in an airtight container or freezer bag, preferably in portions, is recommended for best results.

* Quality: The quality of frozen mashed potatoes may decrease slightly over time. The texture might become more dense, and the flavor can be a bit muted.

Tips for thawing and reheating frozen mashed potatoes:

* Thawing: Thaw frozen mashed potatoes overnight in the refrigerator or for a few hours at room temperature.

* Reheating: Reheat thawed mashed potatoes on the stovetop or in the microwave until warmed through.

Remember: It's best to use frozen mashed potatoes within 2-3 months for the best flavor and texture.
