Mash potato

mustbemad

Hi,

I was wondering how long you would use mash potato that has been in the fridge for? I have some mash that was left over 2 days ago and I meant to use it yesterday for potato cakes but didnt get a chance in the end.

I am tempted to use it today but I wouldnt want the kids to get upset tummies!

As long as its been in the fridge it will be fine.

absolutely fine, mash goes kind of slimy often when its been left too long. My dad will usually use up to about 5 days as even cold meat is meant to keep that long.

well it looks and smells okay, so I think I will take a chance

Hi I hate to admit this but I am a chef in a ready meals factory for sainsburys. We make pots of mashed potato amongst other meals etc(dont know if anyone has ever seen any in the shop?) Anyway, we add 8 days to mash potato!!!! its crazy I know!

hi when i have extra mash and wont have time to use it i open freeze it in blobs on a baking tray then put in bags when frozen. You can pull out as much as you want and microwave it in a bowl with a knob of butter for a couple of minutes great if your in a rush.:D
