OK - I wanted to make mashed potatoes ahead for Thanksgiving, so tried these a few weeks ago. Delicious. I also froze some to try them out. Reheated in the microwave, stirred well, and could not believe how good. So....I cooked 30 POUNDS of potatoes, mixed in several batches, and froze them in Ziploc bags. I laid them flat in the freezer, and marked them. Sure enough, on Thanksgiving, my son said, "These are the best mashed potatoes you have ever made", so I handed him a couple of bags to take home to enjoy! A Thanksgiving regular recipe in my house now. Thanks for sharing.

I have made this previously but evidentally I did not review. This is a GREAT recipe. The finished product is delicious and if made ahead it saves a ton of stress the day of the dinner. I will certainly be using this again at Thanksgiving. I made the recipe exactly as written. I do prefer to make it a day or two ahead, put it in the crockpot then turn on low about 4 to 6 hours prior to dinner. This time I re-heated in the over for 45 minutes which was not long enough. I had to microwave in two batches to get it to the serving temperature. Thanks for posting.

OH MY WORD!! These were great. I halfed the recipe. I used onion powder instead of onion salt (what I had in the cabinet). I also added some dried minced onion and a very small amount of skim milk to account for the dried onions. I also used red potatoes and cooked them whole and used my potatoe ricer. These is an awesome recipe, I can see it being used many times to come.
