Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes , 4 oz

These are creamy smooth and buttery! I love how easy it is to make and gives me more time to focus on other aspects of a meal or add a side to meal I don't have long to get cooked and out before leaving. Best of all any potato loving kid can make this easily with a microwave. Meaning my son can easily add a side to whatever entree he makes himself on my late nights.

I like these packs of instant potatoes. I don't have air conditioning in my house so I don't buy the russet potatoes that I like because they spoil so fast in the heat. These potatoes are ready really quick. You just heat 2 cups of water and add the potatoes and stir it with a fork and you're done! These packets will easily serve 2- 3 people. There are several varieties of these but the buttery potatoes sre my favorite!

Aside from the usual high levels of presrvative and other flavor enhancers and inevitable amount of corn starch, if mixed or accompanied with higher fiber veggies, meats or salads, even quick cooking packaged instant mash potatoes with Idahoan brand is better than all other "instant" brands I've had before. Instead of the time laborious task to make mash potatoes from scratch for any casseroles where a top layer of mash potatoes is traditional main ingredient as, cottage or sheperd's pie, I use Idahoan instant potatoes, then bake entire casserole pie. A healthy, wholesome quick homemade dish for cooking limited singles, especially, and enough for leftovers. To make quicker breakfast potato pancakes, use less liquid when dissolving and stirring instant mash potatoes, then refrigerate. In the morning, add an egg yolk, stir, then pan fry. I even manage to add leftover instant mash potatoes to pancake batter.

Always keep a few varieties in your pantry. You'd be surprised how creatively versatile instant mash potatoes, especially Idahoan brand, can be for singles or super time sparse home cooks craving for traditionally time conuming casseroles and other dishes where the process of mash potatoes starts with boiling, peeling and so forth. These instant packaged mash potatoes can replace from scratch mash potatoes. Time is cut in half, maybe more when using instant mash potatoes for cottage or shepherd's pie. I even have had delicous breakfast potato pancakes in minutes, but reduce liquid to the instant mix, let it harden in fridge to harden more, then add an egg yolk .

I don't eat golden potatoes, I don't like them. I told my shopper NOT to substitute this, but they substituted it anyway. This is becoming a ritual with Walmart. No one listens! I'm getting seriously fed up, and I am considering cancelling my membership. It is ridiculous! These young shoppers do not care.
