like the bag potatoes , even thought you had to add milk , butter, salt if you are a person on a low salt diet you could control the amount of salt you had to add to the food , so hopefully you will bring the bag potatoes back

These are so close to the potatoes we make for special occasions, that most people can't tell the difference. If you don't have time to peel, boil and mash, these potatoes are the next best thing. These are convenient and delicious, and no one complains when I make them. Great product at a great price. This is one item we can't do without. We always have a box in our cupboard.

Oh my God! It took me a month to finally try to make these and what a shock! In the microwave for 2 minutes, then sired in the potatoes and they are the best mashed potatoes ever! Better than homemade, but probably because of the butter added. No salt needed. They are perfectly seasoned straight from the box. Easiest side dish ever!

For a long time the only way I got these was at Sam's club. Then found em on amazon. Then I happened to hit on walmart.com and can get them on my walmart account. Thank goodness. They are the best instant mashed potatoes of any brand I have found.My husband prefers them to homemade mashed potatoes and I am not about to argue with that.

I had been making the store bought flake potatoes to make for my son because he enjoyed them. After I joined Samsclub, I found these and based on the claims on the box, decided to try them. We were amazed how great these Idahoan potatoes tasted! I always microwave them and it turns out perfectly. I highly recommend them and will never go back to the flakes. Samsclub MUST keep these in stock! Although the directions call for a higher percentage of water than milk, I like to use at least fifty percent milk.

They taste great. They're easy to fix. They store well. I use them for fast dinners during the week. Sometimes I dress them up with some granulated garlic or powdered onion (yes, from Sams) and sometimes it's only butter or gravy. Great product. I'm glad I bought it.

Follow your instincts. Use milk instead of water. Add garlic or more margarine for your family's preference. We add fresh garlic sometimes or cheese to give these a kick. They are a basic mashed potato and if you follow the basic directions, thats what you'll get: a basic mashed potato meant for large foodservice situations. But if you get creative these can be very flavorful and fast at the same time. Don't be afraid to experiment with these spuds.

These are sooooo salty. I love salt. I have at least 10 different kinds in my pantry. I add salt to everything. When I make instant mashed potatoes I typically add a bit of salt to the water when it boils to flavor the potatoes. I did this with the first batch and they were inedible. The second batch I added zero salt. Not even to dress the plate. We choked them down but they were still too salty. Not buying these again.

We know NOTHING beats real mashed potatoes, but these are the best instant potatoes on the market. Add milk, butter, and seasoning and they are great! I also add the brown gravy mix that I get in the spice isle at Sam's! Great additions...tastes just like KFC, when you do this!

I WAS ALWAYS SKEPTICAL ABOUT BUYING INSTANT MASHED POTATOES, BUT I SAW THESE IN SAMS AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE THEM A TRY. MY FAMILY CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENC. I ADD GARLIC, SOURCREAM FOR GARLIC MASH, AND CHEDDAR CHEESE WHEN DOING A CHEESE MASH. I ALSO USE TO THICKEN SOUPS AND GRAVEYS AND ON TOP OF MY COTTAGE AND SHEPHERDS PIES.
