          if you freeze these how do you reheat them?

        • Stephanie

          I haven't tested freezing them, but I would recommend heating them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until heated through.

      Sounds like a plan Julie! I usually like my mashed potatoes a little on the chunky side myself 🙂

      Ooooh, I don't like mashed potatoes because I don't like the smooth texture, but I bet I'd like these a lot more. The "sneaking in veggies" comment is funny - my toddler LOVES vegetables, so we're always trying to sneak protein and carbs in with his veggies. Maybe I should make broccoli cakes with a little hidden potato. 😉
