This year VIP ticket holders will have their own lounge where they can sip on craft cocktails, munch on warm appetizers, and get their groove on to 80’s classics. This is one NYE spud-bash you won’t want to miss!

Ask Dr. Potato

 

Q: Help! My mashed potatoes turned out watery. How can I remedy the situation? 

A: If you added too much milk, sour cream or butter to the potatoes and they turned out watery, my go-to solution is to mix in two tablespoons of Idahoan® dry mashed potatoes. This ingredient will absorb the extra moisture without compromising taste.
