An easy sidedish. Leave the skins on for added nutrients (and I hate peeling!) Many ways to reheat. Cuts regular dinner prep and cook time down significantly by cooking one large batch and freezing the remainder.

Steps

10 mins

1

Wash and scrub down skins. Cut in half. Cut half into quarters. Bring water to a boil and add potatoes.
2

Continue cooking until tender. Depending on pot size vs amount of potatoes boiled in one sitting etc 10-30 minutes. Drain and mash (no seasoning, no milk. Add when reheating)
3

(Freeze) Scoop into medium or large ziplock bags in family size portions. Roll and squish the air out and seal. Freeze flat. Good for up to six months in a deep freeze. Thaw out overnight in the fridge or in the microwave.
4

(Reheat) Like leftovers in the microwave for a no fuss approach. Reheat in a pot, stirring occasionally, for a creamy texture. Reheat in a frying pan with a teeny bit of oil/butter for a fried potato texture. Reheat in a round casserole dish in the oven (about 350 checking regularly). Lid on for about 10 minutes, lid off for about 5 for a shepherds pie like texture.

TIP Add seasoning while reheating. Ex. Cheese, sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, hot sauce, spices etc
