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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I have been buying these for 12years. I have found these always consistent in quality. I am disappointed they are now flakes instead of the lil beads now. For whatever reason these are a much better product and taste than the boxes in the stores with the same name I don't know if the red potatoes in these make the difference. These are my go to when I don't have the time to peel real potatoes. Great for a family dinner when you need a lot of potatoes. Easy and fast if you need to make more if you run out during your dinner. Good chance you will.These also work great as a cream soup thickener or to thicken up your shredded chicken for sandwiches over crackers if you don't want all the extra sodium or salty taste. I have made these with both milk or water recipe. Both recipes are delicious. Of course the milk recipe is a little creamier. Some extra butter in the water recipe fixes it right up. I would highly suggest these to friends and family as someone suggested to me. A carton of these can go a good distance with a family of four depending on your mashed potato eaters. Lol

Wish I'd have read others reviews before purchasing. Way too salty. Not flakes but moreso a powder. I do not care for the container; though I store a smaller amount in an airtight container near my stove, I'd prefer a ziploc/resealable bag over any box. I gave one star for convenience in a pinch.

Tried these because our Sams club hasn't stocked the Idohoan brand in awhile. Won't make that mistake again. I suppose reading the long ingredients list would have given me a clue. The family wont' even eat them. Won't be buying mashed potatoes at our club until the Idahoan brand is back.

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.
