I recently was a guest at an imaginative cocktail party, and all the guests were raving about what was in the martini glasses.
It wasn’t alcohol. It was mashed potatoes.
The menu for the party included heavy hors d’oeuvres and a mashed potato bar. Each guest could take a martini glass and fill it with mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes and a variety of toppings. The results looked like weird, wonderful sundaes, and they were delicious. I think this idea would be great fun for Thanskgiving, especially if you’re serving a buffet dinner.

To set up your own mashed potato bar, you’ll need:
Mashed potatoes
Mashed sweet potatoes
Brown gravy
Chicken or turkey gravy
Assorted toppings: Cooked bacon chopped into small pieces, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream or toppings of your choice

Provide a bowl or glass for each guest, and let each assemble a mashed potato “sundae” with the ingredients of his or her choice. Enjoy!
