I am helping with a charity event and my job is to prepare a mashed potato bar for 300. Can you give me any ideas on how to pull this off the easiest way and any suggestions of making this work. I have done this for a dinner party but nothing on this scale. Thanks for any help or ideas!

Yes, the taco/potato bar can help with all the topping amounts, but warning, these are SLOW moving lines and you will need 6 double sided serving lines for good service!

You can do plain/buttery, garlic cheese and mashed sweet potatoes, adding cinnamon butter to the toppings.

Is there an easy way to prepare the potatoes or is there any chance that an instant potato would work - I have never made them, but I know many restaurants use them.

Suggest you look at the freezable, holdable mashed potatoes on the big pots page, and do a great deal of them ahead. Yukon golds make wonderful looking, or any baking type potato.
