What do hippies put on their mashed potatoes?

This is a bit of a trick question! There's no single answer to what hippies put on their mashed potatoes. It's more about the spirit of the food than a specific topping.

Here's why:

* Hippies emphasized natural and organic foods. So, their mashed potatoes would likely be made with simple, fresh ingredients.

* They were also known for being resourceful. They might use whatever was available in their garden or local market, even if it wasn't a traditional topping.

Here are some possibilities for hippie-style mashed potato toppings:

* Simple and fresh: Butter, herbs from their garden (parsley, chives, dill), a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

* Homemade and flavorful: A drizzle of olive oil, sauteed mushrooms or onions, a dollop of homemade sour cream or yogurt.

* Vegan options: A sprinkle of nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor, sauteed tofu for protein, or even a homemade cashew cream.

Ultimately, the topping would depend on the individual hippie's preferences and what was available.

Let your imagination run wild! The most important thing is that the food is made with love and enjoyed with good company.
