I think one important added Info should be how much you should salt your cooking water. For pasta it’s salty as the sea (1g per 100ml) but for potatoes it has to be even saltier (Water tastes almost too salty) because other than pasta, potatoes have moisture and don’t infuse so much of the salt.

@RainbowPlantLife4 жыл бұрын
Hi Alyssa, My advice would be to add the mashed potatoes to a baking dish or ovenproof bowl and spread out in an even layer. And add a bit of moisture back in since they tend to dry out once refrigerated - either some plant-based milk or veggie broth and/or a bit of vegan butter. Cover the pan and heat in an oven at 350F until warmed up again. You can also microwave them as well. Once they're hot, you can add a bit more plant-based milk and/or vegan butter as needed and stir it in to add more moisture. Hope that helps!
