If you want some mashed potatoes for dinner, but really don't want to make them from scratch, get this product!I had my kids over for Thanksgiving 2024 and was gonna make a nice dinner, including garlic mashed potatoes. However, I didn't have time, nor did I want, to make the mashed potatoes by-hand with fresh potatoes. Therefore, I used this product with a little warm garlic-butter mixture I made at home.I am a good cook, so my kids were initially disappointed that I was using instant mashed potatoes. But when they tasted these Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes, my kids both said that they were very good and the best instant mashed potatoes they had eaten.I think they are as good as any "fresh" mashed potatoes that I could have made by-hand, but my kids still want me to make them the old-fashioned way. Not gonna do it! I'm definitely sticking with these Idahoan Mashed Potatoes from now on.Excellent Product. Highly Recommend.
