A town is being haunted by mysterious mashed potatoes — and no one knows who is putting them there

It sounds harmless, silly even. But for residents of the Belhaven neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi, it's becoming something of a serious concern: Bowls of mashed potatoes are showing up everywhere and no one knows where they are coming from, reported the Washington Post.

At least it's mashed and not tater tots.

A serving of mashed potatoes offers a small amount of protein — about 2 grams — and 18 grams of carbohydrate.

Of those carbs, roughly 2 grams are from fiber, or about 6 percent of the daily value. If you follow a low-carb diet, subtract the fiber from the total carbs to arrive at the net carbs of the dish. An indigestible part of plant foods, fiber contributes to digestive health by keeping your bowel movements regular, which in turn helps prevent colon diseases. Dietary fiber also supports heart health and weight management.

You seem to know a lot about mashed potatoes.

Have you been in Jackson Mississippi lately? Can you account for your whereabouts lately?

“I think Ron White might be behind this.”

No... or they would be Tater Tots... not mashed.

“Find out where the bowls are typically bought from.
Examine the store monitor cameras and receipts.”

Walmart, no doubt Those Walmart cameras catch most of the perps on Investigation Discovery.

The perps are probably from Idaho. Idaho doesn’t get much attention in the news.

He’s your culprit.

Their sister, Gravy Train, is not far behind.

[SamAdams76]

I just wish they would eat what I put out there. I slave over a hot kitchen all day and they just throw it away?

[vpintheak]

What a waste of good taters!

[EdnaMode]

Hope nobody ate it!

"Ron White? Hee hee hee."

"The potato terror will continue until I gets me gold."
