I hate to be a killjoy here but those of you that have heart and diabetes problems would be wise to stay away from instant mashed potatoes. it spikes your blood sugar faster than about anything. (Just trying to save lives)
Never been a fan of potatoes, or rice.

I have to ask why would anyone eat instant potatoes on purpose. There is nothing hard about making real potatoes and the time and effort is minimal. I leave the house at 4 am and get home around 5pm if I don't have to stop anywhere, which I usually do, so it's usually 6 or so before I get home. There are days that I am NOT coming home and starting to peel potatoes. I can grab a rotisserie chicken, and have supper on the table in less than 10 minutes when I get home if using instant mashed potatoes. And I LIKE them. If I thought they tasted nasty it would be different but I don't.

I prefer real taters over instant potatoes,,, but the only ones I like are the hungry jack instant potatoes,,,, I have no idea what is going on,, but Walmart has quit carrying them and none of the stores in my area have them anymore… have anyone else noticed this? Did something happen to the company? I don't know but when was the last time you tried the Idahoan buttery homestyle ones? I like those almost as much as homemade. Idaho and s are my favorite

I'm not a fan of mashed potatoes , better ways to cook potatoes .
The instant aren't bad , mostly because of the no lumps ..... Hate lumps in mashed potatoes.
Bad thing about instant mashed potatoes , and chips like Pringles , is that all the culled out and rotten potatoes go into these products

I used to only eat the genuine item in mashed potatoes, but now... I found these and they are easy to fix, the size serving is good, with great gravy to smother them in. All you need is a sauce pan and water for the gravy and the potatoes come their own containing. Put a small steak or half pound ground beef patty next to it and you have a meal in 10 minutes. Garry-

Those that have not had instant potatoes in over a decade.... they've changed. I used to despise them as they were always grainy, like eating sawdust. Those Idahoan ones now though, I bet if I made a batch of homemade and a packet of the Idahoan's and taste tested it, some of y'all would guess wrong. I was given a bag of them , and tried them just a couple weeks ago. Not a fan , and never will be. Left a strange after taste . Maybe I didn't use enough gravy to cover the bad taste. Funny thing is I asked my daughter about them , and she likes them.

I like to make them with canned vege's mixed in, like corn or carrots,and especially 'shrooms.

Great backpacking food. Chop up some jerky and toss it in the water you boil to make the potatoes and you have a good supper! Idahoan butter and garlic are my favorite.

I prefer these over real mashed potatoes. I agree, not sure you could tell the 2 apart. They are not the grainy instant potatoes of years ago.
