Potatoes: If you want a little bit different flavor, you can try using Yukon Gold potatoes instead!Keep the potatoes hot: Make sure to keep your potatoes hot until you are ready to mash them up. This helps the butter to melt right into them. Plus, the other ingredients will mix better as well. As soon as you are done mashing them, then put the lid back on them and turn the crockpot to warm until you are ready to serve! Don’t overmix: If you continue mixing your potatoes after they are mashed and ready to go then they can get gummy. So just mix them until all of the lumps are out and then they will be good to go!

Put them in your fridge and they can last up to 3 days!Reheat: When you are ready to eat your leftovers, take them out and heat them up in the microwave!
