Thanks so much for this recipe! I will definitely try it this year. Love mashed potatoes but what a pain and I feel like my husband and I are always working in the kitchen to get everything to the table warm while the rest of the family is having fun. Something I tried last year was putting gravy in a tiny crockpot on the buffet table and it was great! Gravy always gets cold so fast and this kept it piping hot for the second helpings! I also do a cornbread dressing in the crock pot that's easy. Just need one more crock pot and my Thanksgiving will be a breeze!!!

I've made these potatoes (less the sour cream, but thinking I will now add that- yum!) and they REHEAT BEAUTIFULLY in the oven. As your instructions state, you do need to thaw them completely if you want your oven reheat time to be in that 30-40 minute window. I've made these at home, packed them in the cooler (as the 'ice pack'!), traveled to Grandma's house 7+ hours away, and then we reheated them the next day for Thanksgiving. Works like a charm.
I am really interested to hear how they do reheating in the crockpot!

Amy, I'll blog the turkey recipe in the next few days & send you a link to my blog when I do. The recipe is from this year's Taste of Home Holidays cookbook. I'm hoping that cooking it ahead of time will work well!

“That is such a great idea! Did you do a test run to see how they taste after you freeze the potatoes?”

I recently ran across your blog(s). The idea of making Thanksgiving dishes that can be frozen ahead of time is great! I think im going to do that with a few things. I loooove your Aldi Queen blog, by the way!

I had no idea…thank you! It’s always good to find recipes that can be frozen and thawed for late.

This is great, thank you!! I’m also hosting Turkey Day for the first time… after 10 years of marriage, it was more than my turn and we finally have a house that’s big enough! I will definitely try this recipe. Like you, I hate to make them… peeling gritty feeling potatos–ew! But I love sour cream mixed in, so this should be right up my alley. Thanks again! And good luck next week!
