Peel Potatoes
Cut Potatoes in ¼ in. chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 Tablespoon of Sea Salt. Bring Potatoes to a boil. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes. The potatoes are done when a fork easily pokes into them with no resistance, and they should almost fall apart.
Drain Potatoes
Add Butter. Mix together, then add milk.
If needed, add additional milk. Add ¼ cup milk at a time. Mix until creamy. Taste to make sure it has enough salt. If salt is needed, add ½ teaspoon at a time. Remember, everyone can add more salt if they want, but they can't remove it!
Put the mashed potatoes into a serving dish.

Chop the green onions and jalapeño peppers and place them in separate serving dishes.
Grate cheese and place in a serving bowl.
Place low-fat sour cream in a serving dish.
Place bacon bits in a serving bowl. If you don't like bacon bits, you can also fry, bake, or air fry bacon and crumble it.

To make it easier for your guests to enjoy their meal, be sure to put the mashed potatoes in a serving bowl with a spoon.
Arrange the topping bowls around the mashed potato dish and provide a spoon for each topping.
For a fun and unique dining experience, consider setting out individual martini glasses, small plates, or bowls to let your guests create their own flavorful masterpieces.
