Totally surprised by instant spuds

[Jeff G.]

I have had instant mashed potatoes, the type you cook down from flakes or buds. Generally... they are just OK.

I ate a friends house and his wife fixed some from a pouch, add 2 cups cold water and microwave for 3 or 4 minutes.

I couldn't believe it.... they were actually good. VERY light, fluffy, nice flavor.. They were a 3 cheese mashed and were more than just passable... The would have been a terrific stuffer for pirogies.

Signed..

shocked by instants....

ahem miss KE...
I do recall you almost shunning me for having potato flakes in the house not too long ago!!
Tell me you're not gonna give in!

I think they're great to have on hand for an instant non-flour thickener, or to "save" a batch of the real deal that maybe got a little over-creamed. I think I've even coated chicken and fish with those flakes.

as for flavor on their own, are you sure your friend didn't YUM them up a bit with cream and butter for you?

Someone hijacked Jeff!

Idahoans, by any chance?

I've been talking them up here for a year. Fantastic instant potatoes, in a variety of flavors!

[AMSeccia]

*gasp* I think I may have tried the baby reds! They WERE pretty good!

 

[Beachcomber]

I agree with Lee, Idahoans are good in a pinch.

Qsis definitely called this one right.

LMAO - that's how I was able to write it - Bablefish!!!!!!!!!

DW translated it for me. She did comment on the grammar though.

 

[AMSeccia]

I looked for the Idahoan at the grocery this morning ... the reds and 4-cheese were sold out. I just grabbed the butter flavor, my girls can doctor them up. They like a little something after school sometimes, and this is something they can easily do themselves with little mess.

Thanks Jeff!

I hope Paul McCartney doesn't hear about them. I don't know if I could take another video of him making mashed potatoes, even instant.

What does fish that babble have to do with mashed potatoes? ROFL

Gossie, you should be on the answer a question with a question thread.
