Mashed Potato Bar

December 10th, 2014

Move over candy bars and late night food trucks. Mashed potato bars are coming through. One of the latest trends in party food is the mashed potato bar and I can see why. With all of their comfort food quality and all of the topping variations available mashed potatoes seem like the perfect celebration food. Not a fan of potatoes? Add variety by adding mashed sweet potatoes and cauliflower into the mix too. As originally posted on MyVega.com
