Add plenty of butter and kashar cheese, mixing vigorously inside the skin to create a smooth, gooey mashed potato. Top this to the absolute limit with your choice from dozens of toppings like sausages, corn, peas, olives, pickles, Russian salad, and red cabbage. Finish with a lattice of mayonnaise and ketchup.
