Closest to homemade

I have used these a long time. Served to guest and they asked me how I got my potatoes so creamy and delicious. I just said “Thank you”. I couldn’t get at the grocery store and had to wait a long time from Sam’s due to Covid 19. So I purchased two Huge boxes in case everyone continues to make a run on the stores. At least I will have something to eat. I always have everything delivered to my home due to health so this created a real hardship for me.

Very tasty!!!

These are the most delicious instant mashed potatoes on the market! Even my husband likes them! Having said, that I dont follow the package directions! I use more milk than water, add lots of Real butter, salt and pepper and any other ingredients I desire!

Adjust the Ingredients

Ever since Potato Buds changed, I'd been looking for a new instant mashed potatoes product. This is the closest I've gotten to what I'm looking for. If I prepare it according to the instructions on the box, they are too bland. I tweak the instructions by adding a little less water and replace it with a little more milk. I also add a little more butter and salt to suit my taste. Only then is it close to what I expect instant mashed potatoes to taste like. It still can't beat real mashed potatoes, but it is close and with a lot less work!

Delicious!

Super delicious!!! I love the Idahoan Buttery Homestyle potatoes that come in a packet and these premium red potatoes exceed. The flavor was rich and real and I’m delightfully surprised. I will be buying it again. And even though it’s a comfort food, this is actually lower in calories than their packet varieties.

The ONLY Mashed Potatoes We Eat!!!

These are the only mashed potatoes we eat. I take this carton and add 6 packets of the same brand Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Baby Red Potato flakes in a large Tupperware container and shake them well to mix. I make them according to the directions but use ALL milk (no water) and season to taste before heating the milk. DELICIOUS!

Best instant potatoes out there....

Best instant potatoes ever. Picked this up as a Christmas gift for my cousin, he will be so excited! Had him try a single packet and he’s been hooked ever since. They have a delicious flavor and so easy, just add water! Already have the butter flavor in them!!

Idahoan Prem. Mashed Potatoes are my one and only!

This is our favorite brand of instant mashed potatoes. It is quick and easy to prepare, and I always have better results than the typical "flakes" of some other brands. This has a granular texture as a dry mix, and it seems to "turn into real mashed potatoes" almost instantly upon contact with the milk, water, and melted butter; without the dry chunks or runny mess I would battle with some other brands. Because I turn to this product so often before dinner, it takes me forever to use up a bag of real potatoes.

Perfect Potatoes

These potato flakes are perfect to add to soups, casseroles, or potato filling to give a smooth, creamy consistency. They don't work as feeder for bread starter, though, as they have the added ingredients. But, keep them on your shelf - you will find a multitude of uses for them.

Great and quick side dish

Beyond the great flavor and real texture this is perfect for the full dinner side dish on a busy after school dinner meal. With the quick preparation comes the added benefit of preparing a full meal faster and having more time to set down and find out how their day went!
