Made a bunch of mashed potatoes yesterday and it was fucking delicious

Saved half for today and it had that distinct fridge potato taste :sadness:

I always end up tossing leftover boiled potatoes for this reason

    When it comes to boiled potatoes I only boil what I think I'll eat in a single meal, but when you're making mashed potatoes there's an impulse to make a bigger batch to save time. I guess the solution would be to make smaller batches but that just doubles the time and energy needed. Not that mashed potatoes are incredibly labour intensive but it's significantly more effort than sticking spuds into a pot with some water and fucking off until they're done

      Just microwave them if you want even less effort. There’s usually even a potato button. I’ve noticed that if you have too much leftover cooked potatoes just mash them or dice and fry them or roast them. Parboiling them is a good technique anyway.

          What kind of potatoes were they? I’ve noticed that russet potatoes can have a weird acidic taste especially if overcooked (I think)

            I just get whatever's sold as "starchy" potatoes at the supermarket at any given moment. The specific breed changes depending on which supplier or farm they're from
