Mashed Potato Toppings and Bar (+ Mashtini)

A mashed potato bar (and a mashtini) is the perfect hearty meal for a large crowd. It's easy to make and everyone loves creamy mashed potatoes combined with their favorite toppings. Plus the mashtinis can be served for a special occasion because they look extra special.

Ingredients

  • 1 batch gluten free mashed potatoes

  • Crumbled bacon
  • Chopped chives
  • Shredded cheese
  • Olives
  • Gluten-free crispy onions
  • Sour cream
  • Corn
  • Peas

Instructions

  • Assemble toppings in appropriate dishes and set out on counter in a buffet line.
  • Add serving spoons and forks to topping dishes.
  • Serve mashed potatoes in a martini glasses.
  • Allow guests to help themselves down the bar.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep salt, black pepper, cream cheese, and garlic powder at the beginning of the bar so guests can add extra.
You can't keep mashed potatoes over a flame because they're get too dry and burn but you can set the pan over a boiler with the lid on. This will keep the mashed potatoes warm but prevent them from burning.
My favorite way to reheat mashed potatoes is in the oven at 350 degrees with extra milk and butter. This makes them extra creamy so they taste fresh. The microwave will also work.
