Fried Mashed Potatoes & Icy-Hot Java

I was too hungry to think of shooting this and it just sort of happened. I spose it could be like a cooking-in-tongues, completely un-pre-meditated. Like I channeled some deceased cook formerly employed at a greasy spoon with aspirations for a 5-star restaurant. I just made it and it kind of blew my mind:
I'm sure to the lay person it looks pretty disgusting. I'm blaming the lighting, it was dark at 5p already (thanks saving-me-from-the-day-light time.. er something) but I didn't want to do anything too fancy because I was hungry and we had a house meeting.

On the left we have Icy-Hot Java, which consists of; Chocolate (Hemp) Milk, Cold-Pressed Coffee & Peppar (Absolut's (it was a gift) Hot Pepper) infused Vodka.

The mess on the right is Mashed Potatoes w/ a Chicken, Mushroom & Veggie medley. I can't remember what the veggies were, probably White Chard and Broccoli.
Of course the medley went through the usual sauted Garlic & Serrano Peppers and seasonings.
The Mashed Potatoes... well, I made Mashed Potatoes--Rinse, Cube, Boil, Mash. I mixed it all up in an iron skillet though, Garlic, Hot Pepper, Basil, Sage, Tamari, Balsamic Vinegar, Turmeric, Paprika, White Pepper and fried it so it had a modestly crisp skin on a couple sides.

Holy Bawls.

I'm probably going to make it again for Turkey Day, which will be celebrated early (Tuesday?) when my sister will be here because I will be working all day on (Thursday) T-Day.
I have a very lucky sister.
