Notes

  • Cut the potatoes as evenly as possible so that all of the chunks cook at the same rate.
  • Be sure to let the potatoes fully drain before mashing them.
  • Grate your own cheese for the smoothest potatoes. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated in starch that can cause them to melt unevenly.
  • Don’t add all of the cheese at once. It’s easier to mix it in slowly, and this will prevent overmixing.
Storage: Store leftover fondue mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
