Sand in a box

Idahoans are far superior, if you want quantity without quality this product is for you

Not the same product

This used to be flakes with nothing added, now it's powder with a lot of salt added. Different flavor and too salty, I don't like the taste anymore.

Gross!

These are probably the worst instant potatoes I have ever had. The aftertaste is awful and almost ruined my meal.

Different flavor

We were so excited to see Sams carry Hungry Jack instant potato’s. The difference right away is instead of potato flakes the are granules. The flavor is not the same as the flakes we have bought at our local grocery for years. They seem dry too.

Not the Same

Also bought these thinking it'd be the original since it's no longer made. It's not flakes and super salty and runny. Tried a few times and nothing makes it taste good. Can't return so gave it away.

Awful and definitely not the same

What happened to their product? I used to love hungry Jack mashed potatoes it was always my go-to but this was awful the smell alone was off putting. So so very disappointed after one bite I couldn't tolerate it and threw the box out. Gross

Not Good

Purchased these since my local club was out of the Idahoan brand. Also figured these would be similar. Made my first batch and was very surprised and disappointed. Nothing like the other brand. Poor taste and even the texture is off. Smell is not great either. Sam's Club please take note - these are NOT a substitute for the Idahoan brand you normally stock. Will not purchase again.

Bring Back the FLAKES

What ever happen to the Flake version of the Real Potatoes. I use to get them, bought these thinking they were the Same. NOT, these are little tiny grit balls. The color is Yucky as well as the Taste Nasty. Bought several boxes, and no one likes them. The actual dried flakes were the best. So If they stopped making the Flakes, I will go back to pealing my Potatoes. I understand Companies have to cut cost somewhere. Really , STOP ADDING BIOENGINEERED CRAP IN OUR FOOD PRODUCTS. Maybe companies will save on cost, save a devoted customer and save a life. THERE Other countries dont allow this, Why the US .

Awesome for the tired cook!

These are the best instant potatoes around. Where I live, we cannot get them anymore. These are great when you are in a time crunch or just exhausted from the day and cannot make boiled potatoes. I have tried all other instant potatoes and have thrown the box in the garbage after one use.

Wish I'd read reviews first

I was happy to see this available since no local stores have stock of the Hungry Jack flakes we use. Even Idahoan seem to be scarce. Open the package and ... What is this? Not flakes but granules. Then look at ingredients... The product I'm used to just had simple potato flakes and preservatives. This has salt, oil, milk solids, artificial color, flavor, etc. I prefer to add my own extras, thank you! I see the Idahoan at Sam's has similar ingredients so I guess I'm back to searching markets for the simple stuff!
