So, whether you’re looking to reheat leftovers or cook mashed potatoes for the first time, this post is for you!

How To Reheat Mashed Potatoes?

There are several ways to reheat mashed potatoes:

1. Stovetop

Place the mashed potatoes in a saucepan and heat over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until heated through. This method is quick and easy, but you must keep a close eye on the potatoes to ensure they don’t burn.

2. Microwave

Place the mashed potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. This method is also quick and easy but can result in uneven heating.

3. Oven

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the mashed potatoes in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil.

Heat for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. This method takes a bit longer than the others but will keep the mashed potatoes warm for longer.

4. Slow Cooker

Place the mashed potatoes in a slow cooker, set it to low, and let it cook for an hour or two. This method is best for large batches of mashed potatoes and is perfect for keeping them warm for a buffet or potluck.

5. Toaster Oven

Place the mashed potatoes in a heat-proof container in the toaster oven. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.

It is recommended to reheat the mashed potatoes to at least 165°F (74°C) to be safe for consumption.
