I worked for Boston Market and every recipe I see for their mashed potatoes is WAY off. Now it's a long time but I believe a batch of potaoes was 40 lbs - (might be 80 lbs) and for every batch we steamed peeled potaoes, steamed half an onion, used 6 POUNDS of butter and SEVEN half gallons of milk (3.5 Gal.) plus a 16oz seasoning pack that tasted suspiciously like "Jane's Crazy Salt" There is A LOT of butter fat in Boston Market mashed potatoes and no recipie I have ever seen comes close to the amount of butter and milk we put into it.
