Kelly,
How would you freeze these? In a ziploc or in a foil casserole dish? Are they still creamy when you reheat?
Rebecca – I would freeze these either way. The key is to be sure to get all the air out. I have heard a great way to reheat is in the slow cooker!
I have found that the ziplock bags work very well, I just usually add some butter and chicken stock, if that makes them too thin…I usually have some instant potatoes to add!
My mom has been putting cream cheese in potatoes for as long as I have known…she likes to experiment with different flavored cream cheese too…I think the chives one is AMAZING!
OOH, I like that idea, I might add that to the list of ingredients!
Just thought I would add – My mother has made a similar recipe but she adds 1 Egg and 1/2 c onion then bakes in a 350 oven for 30 to 40 minutes . I have never taken this to a pot luck and not been asked for this simple recipe – Enjoy!
I have a similar question…tell me more about freezing please. I love the idea of freezing stuff to get out in a pinch, but I am always hesitant about when is best to stop the preparing process to maintain the closest to fresh food quality. Do you cook them first, then freeze or freeze before you bake them? Thanks for the advice!
Caroline – You can freeze most things, you just need to store them properly.Checkout my post here about what you can and can’t freeze.

Just an FYI, the print friendly button is not working. It’s printing with pics and all in one column on about 15 pages.
Caroline – It works fine for me, maybe it is your browser? Anyone else having problems?
Made these to go with Sticky Chicken Friday night! Fabulous dish! I topped them with shredded cheddar cheese before I put them in the oven.
If you do not have the half and half/milk or extra 1/2 stick of butter, you can add 8 oz of sour cream in their place. Add paprika to the top for a pretty presentation and you have great make ahead mashed potatoes! Enjoy!
Thanks for the reminder, I think I have some of the Philly Cream Cheese Cooking Sauce…this will be good! I stocked up on potatoes, also knowing I was having a tooth pulled, tmi!! Thanks!
