Q&A -- The Potato Primer

[HowardLi]

Also, is it possible to overcook potatoes for mashing?

[jackal10]

I don't think it matters much if you refrigerate before or after adding dairy.

If without you can reheat by adding hot milk/cream, if with you can microwave.

However make sure they are well covered in the fridge so they dont dehydrate or pick up off flavours

Yes you can over cook potatoes for mashing, Boils too long and your left with potato soup.

For some varieties the line between soft and disintegrated is quite narrow.

No questions - just profound thanks!

I posted a recipe (more for technique than ingredients) for Pommes Anna using the traditional copper Pommes Anna pan at Perhaps it should have gone here, instead.
