Even Altoids, the curiously strong peppermint candies, can have a soothing effect on the gut, as can other foods, drinks, or candies that contain pure peppermint oil. I've been known to pop Altoids before or after meals as a safety precaution, either chewing them or just swallowing a couple whole.
For other uses, see Mashed potato (disambiguation). The Mashed Potato is a dance move which was a popular dance craze of 1962. The dance move was made famous by James Brown and used in his concerts regularly. It was danced to songs such as Dee Dee Sharp's Mashed Potato Time. The move vaguely resembles that of the twist, by Sharp's fellow Philadelphian Chubby Checker.
Irish potato cakes. Irish potato cakes are typically made from mashed potato and flour or baking soda, and are usually fried. This is not the same dish as boxty, because boxty is made using raw potatoes whereas potato cake is made using cooked potatoes. In Ireland, potato cakes are typically known as potato bread, or spud bread, and are served in traditional breakfasts along with soda bread and toast.
