The Mashed Potato is a popular solo dance craze from the early 1960s, characterized by a twisting, shuffling foot motion resembling the act of mashing potatoes, paired with rhythmic arm movements. It was popularized by musicians like James Brown and Dee Dee Sharp and became a staple of the era's rock and soul dance scene. Like other novelty dances of the time, it was danced to upbeat pop and R&B music at parties and dance halls.
