How To Sell Mashed Potatoes

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a plate of Mashed Potatoes.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Mashed Potatoes is anywhere between 280 G and 370 G.

If Huang offers you 350 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.

Huang offers to buy Mashed Potatoes from the farmer.

Keep in mind that his bids will never go lower or higher than this defined range, so 370 G is the maximum price you can get for selling Mashed Potatoes.
