I know this is soooo basic and I am a pretty competent (even good) cook. But for whatever reason every year for Pesach my mashed potatoes come out soupy. They seem okay when I first make them. But then I reheat them for seder and they're runny and awful.
So if you have a great klp mashed potato recipe that stays nice and thick and fluffy when reheated, PLEASE do share!

Pesach Creamy Mashed Potatoes
� 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
� 2 Tbsp oil
� 2 Tbsp cooking water, reserved
� salt to taste and pepper to taste
� 1 egg (washed with soapy water and dried before cracking open)

Boil potato chunks in salted water until soft, about 25-30 minutes.
Reserve 2 Tbsp of cooking water.
Drain potatoes and place back in pot. Add the oil, reserved cooking water, salt and black pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes with a masher. Add the egg and mash until they are light and fluffy. Taste and add seasoning if necessary.

(add 2 small cloves garlic for garlic mashed potatoes)
