Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, Butter & Herb, 4 oz

This is my second time trying Idahoan instant mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes isn't a common side dish in my family since we're Asian. But when I saw the so low price on them and the vibrant pic on the front, I decided to try them. I couldn't believe that I only had to boil 2 cups of water, add the pouch contents of potato flakes, and TADA, instant mashed potatoes!! The texture was EXACTLY like potatoes that had been mashed. It didn't taste like a bunch of dry flakes in water. It was also tasty. I mean it tastes a whole lot better than the kind of mashed potatoes that come in the grocery frozen food meals!! And all for $1 per pouch!! After trying these twice and enjoying eating and making them, I for sure will be including these instant mashed potatoes in my meals more often!!

Butter and herb sounded a little bland to me, but I was extremely surprised by the richness and the creaminess of these mashed potatoes, especially since I cooked them using the microwave directions. Be sure to whip them with a fork or a whip (preferably). I could really taste the butter flavor. It reminded me of movie-theater butter popcorn, but not quite as rich and the amount of herbs were perfect. This is definitely a new staple in my home.You could even add some fresh cooked bacon bits to make it even more delightful and a small dollop of sour cream.

These are my family's favorite instant potatoes in every flavor they come in - so close to homemade taste and the easiest to make! I don't have to boil milk/water and whatever else (salt, butter etc) for these. Boil water, pour it over the potatoes and mix, that's it! They stiffen up pretty fast and are too thick for my liking but most others like them - I just thin mine down with milk. Beats Betty C and Hungry J by a mile.

We had these with our dinner last night. I had not had this flavor before. They were really flavorful and easy to make. Grandma and I felt they were not in need of salt or butter. They of course are instant potatoes so they aren't has healthy as making your own. However, if you are having a hectic day this is a tasty option compared to some other store brands I have tried. I would recommend to others looking for instant potatoes.

I have a best friend who is a granny/nanny for her daughter's family who's husband is currently serving in our military. They are a family of five and I just wanted to help with them with some shelf stable pantry and other items. These arrived quickly and in good condition. I really appreciate that Amazon helps me to help them!

They are flavorful and taste good.

If your lazy like I am, this is a great product. Simple trouble free mashed taters. Full of taste without all the work. Each package makes just the right size meal for on person. If you really like mashed potatoes. And at Amazon, they are half the cost of my small town grocery store

These are the best potatoes I have ever had anywhere.To know that I can just dump this packet in with some water and have delicious potatoes is such a treat. I almost just want to eat them for a snack.I don't know how they did it but they sure are delicious.

Loved it!

Great and excellent taste
