Freezing Mashed Potato

angie_loves_veg

Mashed pots freeze fantastically. Freeze in the portion size you will want to use. The easiest way to reheat is to use a microwave if you have one.

I am positive that mashed swede will freeze just as well but have no actual experience of it - please let us know

I quite often mash swede and potatoes together, kids like it like that, butter and pepper in there too. We call it golden mash.

Hi

I quite often freeze mashed swede & carrots in oven proof dishes. When i want to use it pop it in the oven to heat through.

Makes a tasty easy to use frozen veg - much better than shop bought frozen veg.

I freeze mashed swede on its own and the only thing you might notice is it will be slightly watery but a quick turn over in a hot pan or blitz in the micro will solve that. Other than that its fine

Thanks everyone

I always "steal" a portion of mashed swede for stashing in the freezer.....adds a lovely depth of flavour to vegetable soup and is great for helping to thicken.

Just had roast beef dinner with last weeks left over mash, yummy! My Mam seemed suprised that it tasted nice after being frozen.

Inspired by Delia:rolleyes: and a pile of unused potatoes I thought I'd boil then mash them and freeze in small portions. Does anyone else do this? Any tips?
