Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional)
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Diced chives
  • Caramelized onions
  • Steamed broccoli florets
  • Gravy (beef or chicken)
  • Hot sauce or sriracha
  • Crumbled blue cheese
  • Smoked salmon
  • Fried onion strings
  • Toasted breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Peel and boil the potatoes: Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  2. Mash the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and transfer them back to the pot. Add warm milk, butter, and optional sour cream. Mash or rice until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare the toppings: Cook bacon until crispy and crumble into bits. Shred cheddar cheese, chop chives, and set out all other toppings in separate bowls.
  4. Set up the bar: Arrange the mashed potatoes in a large serving dish or slow cooker to keep them warm. Place toppings around the potatoes with small spoons for serving.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Invite guests to create their own mashed potato sundaes. Encourage them to experiment with combinations!

Notes

Use russet potatoes for the creamiest texture. Warm milk and butter before adding to avoid gummy potatoes. Offer a variety of toppings to cater to different tastes.
