How do you freeze mashed potato?
Just whip up your favorite mashed potatoes, let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer bag, freezer-safe storage container, or a tightly covered, freezer-safe casserole dish and pop it in the freezer. If you’re using a bag, be sure to remove as much air as possible before freezing.
Is it better to freeze mac and cheese cooked or uncooked?
The best way to cook mac and cheese for freezing, in our opinion, is to follow any recipe and fully prepare it up to the point of baking it and then place it in the freezer. We like this method better because it tends to come out creamier and less grainy when it’s time to eat it because it hasn’t been heated twice.
