Add cream to make soft and creamy,stir well to mix and mash out any lumps. I put the potatoes in a chafing dish to keep hot or you could scoop potatoes in a martini glass or a bowl and provide bowls of toppings for guests to make their own. I put the martini glasses next to the potatoes ,then the toppings and made one dish so my guests got the idea of what to do and they took it from there!

MASHPOTINIS

Mashpotinis image

My friend Mari introduced me to this concept of a "make your own mashed potato" bar. Each guest gets a martini glass and fills it with mashed potatoes (or sweet potatoes) and their favorite toppings. We served them at our holiday party and it was nice because some people were coming straight from work and could fill their glasses several times with different combinations as a nice dinner, and others who already ate or had later dinner plans could make a mashpotini as an appetizer. Choose your favorite ingredients - make it gourmet if you like and even vegetarian; the amounts are just suggestions to have on hand. Have the mashed potatoes ready to go the day before your party if you like to make things easier. Peeling the potatoes takes the most time so if you have lots of guests you may want to recruit help for this the day before. Everyone loved making these and had lots of fun. It was easy for us (just check now and then if anything needs to be refilled) but got lots of compliments!
