You guys, there are no words. Serving mashed potatoes bar-style is just incredible. There’s endless creativity with this idea – simply make up a few batches of Idaho Spuds mashed potatoes and prepare your favorite ingredients for toppings. For my variations, I kept things simple with cheese, butter, bacon and chives. There are a myriad of choices, though. I bet caramelized onions, sundried tomatoes, sour cream and chives would be so good too. Go big on game day! What are your favorite potato topping ideas?
