Does "mashed potatoes"mean not so important?
The president is also charged with commissioning "all the officers of the United States" (commissioning comes after they've already been approved by the Senate) and is empowered to convene special sessions of Congress "on extraordinary occasions." But that's mashed potatoes compared to executing the laws and commanding the troops.

Hi Hiromichi,
I think it's "small potatoes."
But, "mashed potatoes" may have some other meaning I don't know of.
