How to Make Day Before Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water (about 1 inch above potatoes).
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender but not mushy (about 15-20 minutes). Pierce with a fork to test.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly.
- Return potatoes to the pot and mash until mostly smooth (some lumps are okay).
- Stir in 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add more milk or butter for desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
- Spread the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned on top.
- Garnish with fresh chives before serving (optional).
