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.

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.

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.

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!

If I get my regular mashed potatoes a little too runny after mashing them up, I'll just add some of these flakes to the bowl and let sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the excess milk/water. I also use these to extend the @ of servings if I run out of potatoes. These are also good on their own.

These instant potatoes have a real potato taste. I was surprised at how good they taste for instant potatoes. No over processed or chemical after taste. They didn't make me swell either which is a good thing because I'm very sensitive to a lot of preservatives and additives.

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.

Never cared for instant potatoes, but Idahoan changed my mind...love em!

This is such an economical way to buy. This box is a value.

Great taste can use with or without milk
