Holiday Mashed Potatoes created by lets.eat

My mom passed this recipe on to me several years ago and I have been making it for every holiday dinner since. They can be made ahead, eliminating the need for mashing potatoes on the big day! I sprinkle a little paprika on top before baking to give it some color. Prep time does not include time it takes to boil the potatoes.

I want to print recipe

What should the consistency of the potatoes be before baking? They seem pretty thin to me. I’m worried it’s because I over cooked the potatoes. Will baking alter the consistency? Hoping there is hope for these, as I’m making them for ahead for Christmas dinner

So this recipe calls for 5 pounds of potatoes. Surely it is more than 6-8 servings, isn’t it?

This was perfect. I followed the directions exactly and my guests raved. I love that I can make them the day before and then bake the day of!

After cooking this would it work ok if I transfer to a crockpot to reheat upon arriving at my holiday gathering?
