5
medium all-purpose potatoes (about 2-1/2 pounds), peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick
-
3/4
cup milk
-
1/2
cup whipping cream
-
6
tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
-
Unsalted butter
1. In saucepan add potatoes with enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat, Simmer, covered 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Let stand in colander 5 minutes to dry and cool slightly. Meanwhile, in small saucepan combine milk and cream. Heat just until hot.
2. In mixing bowl beat potatoes with the whip attachment of an electric stand mixer just until potatoes break. Add 3 Tbsp. butter; mix on low speed just until incorporated. Add remaining 3 Tbsp. butter; beat again.
3. Slowly beat in milk mixture; adding only as much as potatoes can absorb. On medium speed beat until potatoes are light and fluffy. Do not over mix. Season to taste with salt; moisten with more milk mixture, if needed.
4. Cover potatoes; chill up to 24 hours.
5. To reheat, transfer potatoes to medium nonstick saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until reheated, gently stirring occasionally. If necessary, thin mashed potatoes with additional hot milk mixture before serving. Top with additional butter before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

I make my potatoes the day before and put in a foil pan covered with foil. After I take the turkey out of the oven I put the foil pan in and reheat along with the extra stuffing. When they are hot I put them in a nice serving bowl and put the remaining back in the oven to stay warm (the oven is off by now so it just stays warm) What a time saver as well as space saver. I don't have a dining room, so there are no paots and pans hanging around during dinner either!

I've done this too early in the day and they get runny. Reheat the potatoes on the stove only 1-2 hours before meal time. At the same time heat the slow cooker on high. When potatoes are heated through, turn down slow cooker to medium and transfer mashed potatoes to the slow cooker.
