Note

• You don't have to make a whole batch of these. Just place leftover mash on a plate in the freezer and then twist off and pop into a bag in the freezer for later.
• These are perfect for kids that love a pie and mash!
• To use just place in a glass bowl in the microwave on high for 3 minutes and stir.
• I often drop these into soups and stews when I want to thicken them up and add vegetables.
• Make sure you use the correct type of potatoes for mashing.
• If you want to reduce the fat content in this recipe you can use a low-fat margarine and use chicken stock in place of the milk.
