Recipe View 20 mins Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover generously with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly using a colander and return them to the pot.

Recipe View 2 hrs Transfer the mashed potatoes to a lidded storage container. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly at room temperature (about 30 minutes), then cover tightly with the lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and deepen.

Recipe View 5 mins When ready to reheat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spoon the desired amount of chilled mashed potatoes into the prepared dish. Sprinkle evenly with smoked paprika and dot the surface with the cubed butter.

Recipe View 30 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through, the butter is melted and bubbling, and the top is lightly golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider roasting a head of garlic and adding the roasted garlic cloves to the potatoes during the mashing process.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use a potato ricer instead of an electric mixer. This will create incredibly light and fluffy mashed potatoes.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Gruyere, cheddar, or Parmesan, for a unique twist on this classic dish.
These potatoes are best used within 3 days for optimal flavor and texture.
