I decided to try these for the convenience, thinking they would be great for the holidays, since they had so many glowing reviews. Big mistake! I should have reversed the reviews and read the lowest ratings first. These potatoes were really awful -- watery, lumpy and waaay to salty. I actually threw them out, which I hate to do. Don't waste your money on this epic fail...

I purchased these last week. There are many hard black pea sized object in here. I am glad I was paying attention and did not bite into. I called the store I purchased from and nobody answers. That's nice.) I really wanted to speak to someone from where they came from.(AR West) I called the main office number there and was routed to Wal Mart customer support. They then gave me a number and said it was Sam's. I called and it was a marketing number that said that I had won a $100 gift card (To try to sell me something) That was not a Sam's number at all! I do not know what is in these potatoes, but it is disgusting. They are usually fine. No quality checks? To make a bad thing worse was trying to obtain some customer support. It is non existent. P.S. For some reason I cannot upload the picture to this review.

I bought these via curbside pick up based on the photos and description. I have been buying it regularly because they were pretty good, but saw on the product packaging that they include a lot more than six ingredients. Time to update the photos and description for this product. Deceptive! Would have loved if this had only been six ingredients, but won't buy again.

Like many of us...I have gone from making homemade mashed potatoes to the convenience of prepared trays of mashed potatoes in the chilled section. While I have had really good success with Bob, unfortunately the M.M. brand is dry, bland, and filled with chunks of black "eyes" of potatoes. These are not creamy! I would plan on adding milk or cream if you buy them. I tried to add cheese and bacon to make a "Loaded" version...but there's no denying the base is dry and flavorless. A friend of mine adds a whole stick of butter to the tray and these definitely need it! I'll finish these once I dig out all the black eyes, add salt & pepper, milk or cream, and butter...but no way would I make this purchase again!

I have purchased these many times, and recently (in the last 5 months) they have been TERRIBLE! They taste like they've gone bad, almost like the milk or cream used in them is sour. They were extremely runny too. These are literally the worst mashed potatoes EVER!

Not sure what people have for taste buds leaving bad reviews. My wife is a steak and potato kind of gal and we'd make homemade mashed about every week. These pretty much taste the same if not better. And. Saves me about 40 minutes of messing around with potatoes. This also has fooled many family members including the mother in law. Can't go wrong here, especially for an event.

Good side , saves time real potatoes

Easy to warm up and tastes like potatoes not instant mash powder.

Great as a starter for (additionally) loaded mashed potatoes!!

Man the best mashed potatoes
