Delicious mashed potatoes serve as the ideal complement to many main courses. Whether you prefer them creamy or slightly chunky, there’s nothing like the warmth of this side dish to add a little comfort to your meal. Adding a topping is the best way to improve upon this all-time classic. If you’re planning a wedding or a special event, here are a few ideas to keep in mind.

Great Toppings for Mashed Potatoes

1. Cheese

Cheese is universally beloved by so many—and because it’s available in such a wide variety of options, you never have to worry about disappointing anyone either. You might opt for a mild cheddar and a savory blue cheese to provide some balance, for example. Cheese brings a touch of depth and texture to creamy mashed potatoes, depending on the variety that you choose, allowing all of the flavors to stand out perfectly.

2. Bacon

The combination of meat and carbohydrates is sure to make mouths water, too, particularly among those who prefer their side dishes to be more filling. The bacon brings the dish to life in a different way by adding a bit of a salty flavor to the mix.

3. Butter 

One of the great advantages of buttery mashed potatoes is that they bring some balance to the rest of the meal. If you’re serving meat at your party or wedding, for example, something creamy on the side helps to create a more versatile plate. If there’s a spicy food on the plate, the buttery potatoes will mellow out the palate, too. Butter is the key to softening the potatoes enough that they become creamier and more velvety. Add some garlic to bring out the potato’s natural sweetness and serve as a natural complement.
