Put your peeled potatoes in salted water to keep from turning brown. 2. Consider brining your turkey before you roast it. If you ever do, you'll never NOT do it! It will make your turkey flavored and more moist than you have ever had. Just google "turkey brine" for great recipes and instructions. 1.

Reheating the mashed potatoes was easy...I just covered the dish with foil and stuck them in the oven for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees. You could also reheat them in a crock-pot on low for about 2-3 hours. This is a great option if you are short on oven space. Peeled potatoes will turn brown-ish if you don't cook them right away, but I've heard that you can peel them in advance, then place them in the fridge overnight covered with water to prevent them from discoloring until you're ready to cook them. Good luck hosting your dinner party! @Amanda: Hi, Amanda! Reheating the mashed potatoes was easy…I just covered the dish with foil and stuck them in the oven for 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees.

Just curious--how did you reheat your mashed sweet potatoes for dinner? I'll be hosting a New Years Eve/delayed Christmas dinner for my family, and the mashed potatoes (regular, not sweet) are one of the things I'd like to make ahead of time. Actually, I was thinking of boiling the potatoes the day before and putting the dish together on the day of. Have you ever heard of anyone doing that? Hi Shayla!

That is AWESOME!! Your table looked beautiful and I love that you labeled the serving pieces ahead of time. I have totally done that. Good job hosting! I have yet to do that.
