Jill Duggar is still trying to make her food blogger dreams happen! Despite getting backlash on almost every recipe, the former Counting On star has shared yet another recipe on her family blog, this time for mashed potatoes, which she called “Party Potatoes.” While fans were already disgusted by the recipe — which calls for sour cream and cream cheese — they were even more horrified to see that Jill suggested serving the recipe cold to double as potato salad!

Jill posted the recipe on DillardFamily.com. It calls for five pounds of potatoes, 24 oz. of sour cream, 2 packages of onion soup mix, and one package of cream cheese, softened.
After scrubbing or peeling and dicing the potatoes, Jill instructs readers to boil them until soft and then mash them together with all the ingredients. She then adds, “Note: can be served hot (mashed potatoes) or cold (potato salad).”
Fan did not react well to Jill’s “note.” “Can we please discuss this? I'm confused and alarmed all at the same time by this. Mostly alarmed,” a fan on Reddit wrote. “Mashed potatoes and potato salad aren't even close to being the same thing. What the hell?” another Redditor replied.
“Am I on glue or are cold mashed potatoes and potato salad... not the same thing?” another Redditor asked. “Cold mashed potatoes and potato salad are indeed not the same thing,” a fan agreed.
“You can't just serve mashed potatoes cold and call it potato salad. So weird,” a fan wrote, with another replying, “Even worse- you can't heat up potato salad and call it mashed potatoes!”
Jill previously horrified fans with her recipe for “Slow Cooker Lasagna,” in which she used canned mushrooms. Jill has often come under fire for her love of canned goods, and some fans even speculated she obtains the tinned items at her mother Michelle’s house to save money. Her family doesn’t have a steady source of income with her husband Derick Dillard in law school.
What do you think of Jill using her mashed potato recipe as a potato salad recipe? Is it sacrilegious? Sound off in the comments below.
