Freezing Leftover Potato Casserole
You can freeze the leftovers, some people don’t agree, but I do it and I find that this dish freezes well. to defrost, place it in the fridge overnight to thaw. This casserole has a high fat content, that keeps the mashed potato as fresh as possible.
Storing Leftovers
Place your leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days, or you can keep them in the freezer for up to 4 months.
always label the food when freezing it. so you check the expiration date.
Reheating Frozen Potatoes
To reheat, place your leftovers in the microwave or the oven. thaw them before reheating them.
Heat for 2 minutes on high when using the microwave, take it out stir the potatoes, and if they are not hot enough reheat for 30 secs intervals until they reach the desired temperature.
If you are reheating them in the oven, place them in an oven-safe dish, cover them with foil, and heat for 15-20 mins in a preheated 350 °F (180°C) oven.
