They were lumpy, hard to stir - but that by no means was the worst thing, most in the store did not have an expiration date, but I thought they tasted awful the first time I just added butter, salt and pepper, so the second time I added cheese, bacon, sour cream, and butter still not good - absolutely awful!!!

My husband loves mashed potatoes, and even wants instant sometimes. I HATE instant potatoes, but don't want to keep actual potatoes around because they go bad too fast. This is great to have in the house because they taste great, are easy to make, and everyone loves them.

For the price and quantity you get, totally worth it. I always keep some on hand in case I ever need to make a quick side as mashed potatoes go great with a lot of things. The taste isn’t artificial, grainy, or flavorless. It is worth the purchase.

These are a great time saver - They are great right out of the box... but I take them out of the container and microwave for the same amount of time in my own casserole dish... I also like to put them in a bowl and add an 8oz cream cheese or Boursin Garlic and Herb Cheese... blend to mix - perfection!

Would I ever believe these were homemade? No. But the fact that I don’t have to cook or clean and can have good “instant” mashed potatoes is a definite win. These tasted better than what you can make from a box, but definitely have the fluffy/powdery texture of instant mashed potatoes. If you typically enjoy instant, you’ll definitely enjoy these. If you normally make you own mashed potatoes but like the idea of the convenience- I think you’d enjoy them as well.

We disagree that MM Potatoes are bland. They are a welcome staple in our household. You can actually taste potatoes unlike Bob Evans brand, which overwhelmingly tastes like PEPPER. They are wonderful "as is" for a side dish. Also, the fact that they are "mashed" and "not creamed" also allows you to add MM chicken broth and MM real crumbled bacon for a quick awesome chunky potato soup, if you are into a hearty stand alone meal on a cold night. Don't change a thing, we love MM YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES!

I'm so glad I was asked that you inquired about my love of Yukon Mark no wait Mark Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. I'm sorry my backspace button does not work. I usually have these when my son comes home from college he loves the mashed potatoes and I always tell him that they are homemade which no they are not they are not homemade they are Mark Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and he will never know and if anyone ever tells him I will find you .

I highly recommend these. My husband and I hate premade mashed potatoes but these are great! The texture and taste ar3 just like homemade without all the work. I always keep these on hand to make dinner that much easier. I also use them when hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner and get so many compliments!

I bought these to with the rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy meal. I was skeptical at first, especially since my family are mashed potatoes snobs. These were great! No peeling, no boilin, no mess. Put them in a pretty serving bowl and no one said a thing until my husband saw the label in the trash, “those were store bought? They were good! I thought you made them yourself!”

These were gross. They had a sour bite which as weird. My kid refused to eat them. I typically use yellow or small potatoes when making mashed potatoes and they come out flavorful and creamy. They take a minute to make so I wanted to give these a try…. It did NOT go over well.
