I know what you mean.... this year at Thanksgiving I wanted to avoid the
cold semi reheated mashed potato problem and tried something new. Afterthe
usual preparation and mashing I put them in my crockpot on low. They were
there probably only an hour, but they were hot and OH so good with each
refill of the mashed potato bowl.
