There is always so much going on trying to get everything to the table at the same time, and to have the potatoes all taken care of sure would make things easy. Thanks for all your info!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-88494539684210895152012-11-14T13:55:52.078-08:002012-11-14T13:55:52.078-08:00I add a little sour cream or cream cheese just as ...I add a little sour cream or cream cheese just as live and learn suggests. I just let the crockpot handle the heating instead of the oven and stir them before serving. <br /><br />I make them and put them in a lined crockpot -- usually aluminum foil because I'm too cheap to buy liners...lol. Then I freeze them. The shape is pretty much right for the crockpot and I empty them into it to let them heat.<br /><br />I also freeze them in freezer bags in family sized amounts this way when I find a great price on potatoes. I heat them up in the microwave or in the oven for a quick side dish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-61517705948792825692012-11-14T13:06:33.688-08:002012-11-14T13:06:33.688-08:00I have made mashed potatoes ahead of time and kept...I have made mashed potatoes ahead of time and kept them in the crock pot on Thanksgiving Day. They work okay, but either they get watery or they can dry out. What works better is Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes. Just Google it. There are a lot of recipes out there. Basically it's mashed potatoes with cream cheese and sour cream added. You can freeze them or keep them them in the fridge a couple of days. Then you reheat them in the oven when you are ready to eat them. Even without gravy, they are a hit with everyone. They work just as well with low fat sour cream and cream cheese.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-86453325700386221952012-11-14T12:55:03.978-08:002012-11-14T12:55:03.978-08:00Hi Shara,

I usually have the kids make the mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving day. <br />But in the past, when I've wanted a mashed potato-like dish, made easy, I've made potato puffs for the freezer. When I need them, I just get out how ever many I want and pop them into a hot oven. Their taste and texture is excellent!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-66530076187353518832012-11-14T10:58:58.222-08:002012-11-14T10:58:58.222-08:00Candied yams are the big thing around here.

Hubby and I love them and the kiddos won't touch them. <br /><br />Do you ever do make ahead mashed potatoes to keep warm in the crockpot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-89606141711328117022012-11-14T08:15:29.829-08:002012-11-14T08:15:29.829-08:00Hi Pamela,
