Well, I ate spoiled mashed potatoes last week because they weren't stinky and I thought they were still good. As a matter of fact they smelled nice with lots of garlic. Within 15 minutes my stomach started cramping up so much I felt like I was going into labor. I started with (TMI alert!) loose stools that turned to just plain liquid stools and my stomach cramped for about 30 minutes. I broke out in a sweat also and felt nauseous but never threw up. I had some Gatorade on hand and I suggest that to deal with the dehydration if you are pooing your brains out. If you don't have this kind of reaction, then you might be okay but be careful. Food made with milk that has spoiled is just not a good thing. Been there, done that.

Mashed potatoes should be baked in the oven for about 20-30 minutes at 350F for optimal flavor and texture.
enough that you should stop eating them...
Yes, cooked mashed potatoes can be frozen for later use.Another response:Yes, it is possible to freeze cooked mashed potatoes, but freezing changes their texture, and most people find them unpalatable when re-heated.
Sweet potatoes are bad for consumption when they are moldy, rotten, or have sprouted. These signs indicate that the sweet potatoes have spoiled and should not be eaten.
I think that you can pair it with mashed potatoes, broccoli, corn, sweet potatoes, or maybe some pasta.
A general guideline is to prepare about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of mashed potatoes per person for a side dish. For 50 people, this means you should make approximately 25 to 38 cups of mashed potatoes. If you want to ensure there's enough for everyone and some leftovers, aiming for around 30 to 40 cups would be ideal.
The answer will vary with the size of the potato. 4 to 5 medium potatoes would equal about 1 pound. One medium potato is equal to about 1/2 cup, so one pound of potatoes would be equal to about 2 cups of mashe potatoes.
A standard serving of mashed potatoe's is around six ounces. Between five and six pounds should be enough to serve 10 adults and maybe even leave you a little bit of leftovers.
That depends how you make them. Potatoes on their own should not be considered protein, but rather a starchy carbohydrate. If you make your mashed potatoes with butter, a little milk and parmesan cheese like most people, you'll have as much protein as the milk/cheese contain. It all depends how much you add.
Drain of the water and store then in a plastic bag in the fridge.
you can freeze mashed potatoes, thaw out natural, i add cream cheese and sour cream to my mashed potatoesMore information:While it is possible to freeze mashed potatoes, and they will be safe to eat when thawed and warmed, their texture will suffer. Many people do not care for the watery texture of frozen and reheated potatoes of any sort. Cream cheese and sour cream would improve the final texture.
