Thank you Mary
Yes much better.Now I have an awful cough.I hate that!!!
I am glad you are here Mary.I have a question for you. Have you ever kept reg.Mashed potatoes warm in a crock pot?
I am having a pot luck dinner on Sat.And wonder if I make them ahead if they will stay nice in the crock pot.
I don't like those heavy make ahead ones with cream cheese and sour cream.


This is how I do it when I'm cooking for a bunch of people...I make the mashed potatoes and cover them with saran wrap...push it down over the potatoes, not across the top of the bowl or pan...this way moisture won't collect on the lid or potatoes and ruin them..then I just keep them on a warming plate or in a low oven...crock pot would be the same, just turn it on the lowest setting so they won't burn.

Doesn't the saran wrap melt in the oven?


Nope, not as long as it's inside the pan...and you don't want it in a hot oven.

So about what200 F? would aluminum foil work?


It'd cause it to be too wet....but you can use it.

oh I see.

The wrap won't melt if it's inside the pan, in a low oven...but if you're scared of it use foil the same way and maybe lay a paper towel over the potatoes...what ever you cover it with will cause moisture to form and will make the potatoes too wet.
