Hm, sounds like someone did not make them right...

Mom's refrigerated, re-heated, mashed potatoes were always good.
She made large batches so that there _would_ be leftovers to eat plain
with butter, or with gravy, and added to eggs to make potato pancakes.

They've always tasted fine to me.....

But if the OP is not sure, they should experiment ahead of time. They
still have 4 days.
