Yummy 'Taters!

The BEST instant potatoes! Add real butter, cream and two large red-skinned potatoes (cooked) and voila'!! You have REAL potato flavor and appearance. These potatoes are versatile and always great. Highly recommended, particularly if you have no time to start from scratch...

Best instant potatoes!

Best instant potatoes ever. They come out fluffy and about as close to real potatoes that you can get. It takes 5 minutes in the microwave to heat the liquid to make them. They are very easy and so quick that you can get a rotisserie chicken from Sam's and make these potatoes and have a small salad in less that 20 minutes. This is a parents dream for a quick dinner side.

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!

IDAHOAN CREAMY ITALIAN MASH POTATOES

The best of all the brands of instant. Idahoan tastes just like fresh mash potatoes. when I use to make fresh homemade mashed potatoes I "boil my potatoes in chicken broth," NOT WATER. I also add 2 mince cloves of garlic in the pot with potatoes and when all is done, I drain them I only add black pepper, butter, and half and half, some times I did add sour cream. So Why Not? Now with the instant mash potatoes, I use (no water) only chicken broth, half and half, garlic powder, black pepper, and some parsley flakes. So so so good. People always ask for my recipe. So easy to make and taste like the real thing. I recommend this brand over all the other brands. Buy the best and you will know the difference. Good luck.

Great Product

I never was one for ‘instant’ potatoes; but these changed my mind a number of years ago! Since the first time I tried them, I’ve never Ed considered going back to peeling, boiling and mashing potatoes from scratch. As easy to prepare and as delicious as these are; why go through the unnecessary steps!?!

BETTER THAN PEELING AND COOKING!!

I've been around a long time, and mashed potatoes have always been one of my favorites! I REALLY could eat them every day. These Idahoan Mashed Potatoes are the best tasting potatoes I have ever had!!! A little salt, and a little pepper to taste, and WOW!!!! OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

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!

Great to have on hand!

Idahoan Real Premium Mashed Potatoes, are great to have on had. You never know when you will need potatoes for something. Great quality. Size is bigger than I would like, but then I just don't have to purchase it as often. Easy to make and they taste great.

Great first impression

Excellent potatoes! I made these for a banquet of 175 ppl. Two boxes of these Idahoan potatoes, a bag of red potatoes cut small with peelings on (cooked and mashed) and two sticks of butter...some garlic salt, onion powder, salt and pepper. They were a hit! Will definitely be using these potatoes from now on. VERY easy to make...you can't mess them up!

Great Flavor!

Our family of 4 loves these - only boxed potatoes we've found that we will eat! We have tried the IDAHOAN Original potatoes in the brown box and did NOT like those at all. We've also tried other brands and did not like them either. These we do like and would recommend.
