Behind the bar we had a Kitchenaid mixer that we used to make a dessert, The Peanut Butter Cup (PBC). We had Reese’s…

Mashed Potato Corn Cakes
Mashed potatoes usually aren’t something that last long in my house after the holidays. But what if you find yourself needing a recipe to use up a massive amount of spuds that failed? Or you don’t have anyone to help you eat your leftovers and you don’t want to eat mashed potatoes for days? Enter…
