\n Freezer Meals Series<\/a> Mashed potatoes are always the kind of thing you make once and immediately start thinking about who you can make them for again. But add Boursin cheese, and you may not wait that long. The garlic and herb cheese melts into the hot Yukon Golds with warm butter and whole milk, and the whole thing is so fast and so rich that it feels like a cheat code. These work as an easy fresh side, so testing them for freezer meal prep was equal parts skeptical and excited. Mashed potatoes and the freezer have a complicated history. Most come out watery or gluey. These don\u2019t.<\/p>\n Two things make the difference: steam-drying the potatoes after draining, and not thinning them too much before they go in the molds. The extra steam-dry step, letting the drained potatoes sit in the hot pot for a few minutes before mashing, pulls out the water that would otherwise turn to ice crystals. The fat from the Boursin and the whole milk acts as a buffer through the freeze-thaw cycle in a way that skim milk or water just can\u2019t. We\u2019ve made mashed potatoes enough times in the GC Meat Labs that we can say: if your mashed potatoes come out gluey or watery after freezing, something went wrong in the prep stage, not the freezer.<\/p>\n \n 8<\/span> \n 4 hrs<\/span> \n 3 min<\/span> \n 3 mo<\/span> Full picks and links for every mold, sealer, and bag in this system: Freezer Meal Prep Equipment Guide<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you just want dinner tonight, stop here. Serve the mashed potatoes warm and eat them fresh. Everything past this point is for the freezer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This recipe makes 8 portions. Use 1\/2-cup silicone molds<\/strong>. This size works well for small side portions, mix-and-match meal prep, or adding one mashed potato cube to a container with protein and vegetables.<\/p>\n
