In 1962, the Mashed Potato was a dance move popularized by Dee Dee Sharp's song "Mashed Potato Time". It resembled the Twist which was developed by Chubby Checker. Bobby "Boris" Pickett used a variation of the Mashed Potato for dancing to his hit "Monster MASH".

The Mashed Potato dance movement was developed about 1962 as part of the dance style popularized by the Twist beginning in 1960. It probably developed in America.
