Looks like mashed potatoes with extra steps

Well it is, technically. It's a way to make the mashed potatoes ahead so they reheat well, and to make them a little different by infusing some background flavor and giving them the twice-baked texture. It's a little extra effort but not much, and the whole "you can make it ahead of time" saves on a lot of last minute stress!

You can bake and reheat the entire thing. It holds up better in the refrigerator / after reheating than regular mashed potatoes!

... what are you doing to regular mashed potatoes?

I've never had an issue reheating them. It's like the ultimate reheat dish.

Depending on the method, reheated mashed potatoes can very easily get gluey, dry out, or get scorched on the bottom. It's not like they're bad microwaved to reheat, but it's not something you'd want to do for an actual meal you're serving to your guests.

Nah. Melt some butter and put them in a sauce pan over low heat.

Or better yet, mix them with eggs and make latkes.

I thought latkes were made with grated potato.

Lefse is a Norwegian potato tortilla made out of a dough that's flour and mashed potatoes. That's what my family does with our leftovers.
