How do you keep mashed potatoes warm for a party?You can't keep mashed potatoes over a flame because they're get too dry and burn but you can set the pan over a boiler with the lid on. This will keep the mashed potatoes warm but prevent them from burning.What is the best way to reheat mashed potatoes?My favorite way to reheat mashed potatoes is in the oven at 350 degrees with extra milk and butter. This makes them extra creamy so they taste fresh. The microwave will also work.
