> Hashbrowns. Mashed potatoes. Fried in butter or oil in the former, butter added to make them taste good for the latter. I have never used a full stick of butter in the making of either of these. For hash I use as little as I need to lubricate the potatoes. For mashed I use about 1 tablespoon per 2.5 pounds of potatoes. Since I have never made 20 pounds at once, I have never used a full stick.
