I always make my own Yukon Gold or butter mashed potatoes but saw the ingredients were simple and they were on sale. I thought I'd try them since they were rated so high. All I can say is the tasted like boxed instant potatoes. No way are these fresh made. I asked 2 other people to try and they said the same thing. Don't waste your money unless you are ok with instant potatoes!

These are the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. They are so fresh and easy to just heat and eat! This is the 2nd time we've purchased them from Sam's Club and I won't ever make from scratch again after finding these. Perfect size containers for a large family or guests!

We get these all the time! They taste great…like homemade. I’ve had a few issues which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. One pack was moldy when I opened it even though it was still good based on the best by date. I had a recent pair that didn’t get soft and creamy. Hopefully those 2 incidents were flukes! It had deterred me from purchasing!

Just know this is microwave only. The container cannot be put in the oven, even though it looks oven-safe. We do not use a microwave, and I threw out the instructions, but since it looks like every other oven-safe container, I thought it would be fine. It's totally my fault, but the company should know that not everyone uses a microwave. Even if I had read the instructions, I would have tried it because it should be heat-safe, right? Melted in the oven.

When you are out of time or energy or both, these are perfect and delicious. Doctor them up with butter, salt & pepper when you warm them...a tiny bit of milk or hal n half too for creamier. Are they as good as my homemade....well, not quite, but plenty good enough under the right circumstances.

Excellent tasting and easy to heat up. We’ve purchased these several times. Once we let them thaw in the refrigerator and then cooked them in a pan on the stove. Another time we cooked them in the microwave. And yet another time we cooked them directly in the container in the oven. All three times they came out great. The stove top method was the easiest.

These are so delicious. I would challenge anyone to a taste test against other heat and eat brands and even your "it's a lotta work homemade" peel, cut, chop, boil, mash, season... My refrigerator will always have some of these ready to heat-n-eat for my family. Just such warm, creamy comfort food.

I don't have proof, because these potatoes weren't frozen when I received them, but their texture was very much like they had been previously frozen: watery and separated. I had to turn them out into a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer, adding butter and heavy cream to make them smoother. They had a good taste--but the texture was off.

When you don't have time to peel and boil the potatoes get this. Yukon gold mashed potatoes are the only way I prepare mashed potatoes. Russet is for baking and red is for boiling. This is the real deal. Plop it into your crockpot on low and stir occasionally. Your guests won't know it's not home made.

The positives: ease of use and fast. I don’t know if I will ever peel another potato to boil and mash. The flavor and texture and quantity are all good. I don’t make mashed potatoes or use any others after having had these. Not so good – absolutely nothing!
