Don’t microwave them in a deep bowl without stirring. Don’t boil them in water like pasta. And for the love of all that is holy, don’t use a blender or mixer. That turns them into wall-paste. Your hands and a spoon are your best friends here.
Side note: If your potatoes are more than three days old, just give up. Make potato soup or pancakes. Sometimes, you can’t fix the past.
So next time you stare at that Tupperware full of cold mash, take a breath. Choose the stovetop if you’re in a rush, the oven if you have time, or the steamer if you want to feel fancy. Your taste buds will thank you. And hey, you’ve earned this—after all, you made the mash in the first place.
