Storage Mashed Potatoes
Keep in the fridge covered for up to 2 days.
NOTE:
Never drop potatoes into boiling water. NEVER!
Always use cold water to cook potatoes.
WHY?
Because if you use boiling or hot water the outside of the potatoes will be cooked faster than the insides and
you will have unevenly cooked potato. If you keep boiling until fully cooked to the core, the outside will start to flake apart.
So, you are not going to win. The only way to have perfect cooked potatoes is to use COLD WATER.
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
How to know if potatoes are cooked?
Use FORK!
If the fork slides easily all the way to the center, the potatoes are done.
