They are legit better than anything I have ever had from any restaurant, fast food place, homecooked meal, or from anywhere else. I don't know how they fucking do it.
>>21698029they're okay. i'd make quick meals with instant mash and not hate it. ingredient list is a bit grim. never thought it was better than homemade though. freshly cooked potatoes have a much better flavor, if your homemade mashed potatoes aren't that good you might be doing something wrong. probably not adding enough butter and salt.
>>21698042wait nm i was using the regular instant mash which is a bit simpler so i guess what i said doesn't matter for this thread sry
>>21698029I take them when I go camping, very convienent
>>21698029I prefer the Betty Crocker ones
>>21698029truth nuketoo bad mashed potatoes aren't really that good in genera
>>21698029Naw mashed potatoes should be chonky and have the skins in em
>>21698029>I don't know how they fucking do it.They use a two-step cooking process that lowers the temperature of the initial cook to gelatinize the starch in the potato cells before they absorb too much water and burst and then force retrogradation. This makes them nearly impossible to mechanically overwork compared to conventional potatoes at industrial scale. Read more about it here (start on pg. 56):https://books.google.com/books?id=YkkhgGoE3_cC&pg=56You can recreate this process at home using Steingarten method detailed here:https://old.reddit.com/r/AskCulinary/comments/hqyea7/what_is_if_any_the_science_behind_the_starch_trap/https://food52.com/story/24633-how-to-make-mashed-potatoes^Method 11And you can even take the process a step further with diastatic malt powder:https://modernistcuisine.com/mc/mastering-creamy-pureed-potatoes-no-fat-required/https://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/dairy-free-potato-puree/

I'm disappointed with this brand. they stopped selling the version that was just potato flakes that you added milk and butter to. also the bacon one is actually bacon flavored soy protein. I switched to the red mill brand which lists potato as the only ingredient and doesn't even have emulsifiers or preservatives.
