Idahoan Original Mashed Potatoes, Value Size 26.20 oz (pack of 8)

Sometimes, I don't feel like waiting for potatoes to cook through. These instant potato flakes are convenient to have on hand for such times. Preparation is super simple. Just add water, milk, salt, and butter. I grew up on this stuff. Quality, taste, and texture are the same as they were back then. For added convenience, I'll premeasure portions of potato flakes, add the proper amounts of salt, dry milk and butter powders. Just add hot water when ready to use. We also use the product in other ways: to thicken soups and stews, make spudnuts and waffles, and it's also become a key ingredient to our go-to pot pie crust recipe. One minor complaint though, the factory packaging doesn't do the best job at maintaining freshness, or totally keep tiny pantry pests out. The quantity is a good value if your family can consume the product by the "Best By" date. We've promptly repackaged the product with oxygen absorbers and kept it in vacuum sealed mason jars to extend the shelf life. However, a 5-gallon food safe bucket will do better a better job than the boxes.

The best substitute for the real thing. Can’t tell the difference. Leftovers hold up nicely Reheats great.

Nothing beats fresh mashed potato’s but if you use real butter and milk these are pretty dang good, convenient, quick and satisfying. I almost always mixin goat cheese, Parmesan, sour cream,yogurt or cream cheese to them.

I don't make mashed potatoes with these-- I use them as a gluten-free way to thicken almost any sauce. The big value size box in a case of eight is a great price compared to the supermarket.

I like spuds. These aren’t real spuds but they are close enough and fierce handy to make.It doesn’t take too long to make them. If ye had to boil spuds it would take a good while but these only take a few minutes. Si if you’re stuck for time and you’re hungry put on a big pot of this mash . Find a nice T-bone steak, some onions and mushrooms, and boil a few carrots. Relax and have your dinner.
