Yes.

When my wife worked for a food service company, Ben E Kieth or Sysco, I don't remember, anyways, she came home with a huge box of instant mashed potatoes of all brands and flavors. Some were okay, some were terrible. She makes legit mashed potatoes with butter, sour cream, cheese, milk, garlic.

wait until you see the pictures i got today

pour on site wouldn't even have the 1st floor formed out

Real mashed potatoes are easy and worth it. I guess if you want to keep some in the pantry for an emergency, but they taste so bad compared to the real deal.

If you want mashed taters but don't have an hour to peel, boil and whip fresh ones, these are a good substitute. We eat them just cause they're so quick to make. I don't like spending an hour cooking a side during the week.

I use chicken stock instead of water. We buy those Idahoan instant mashed potatoes by the case at Costco. Cover them with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.

Westside has it right. Not a fan of the powdered taters in a box. But we live on those Bob Evans ones and Country Crock makes some that are terrific.

Are these in the frozen section?

. 22 years in the Army was enough instant taters for me.

Most restaurants do. Trying to make 50 lbs of mashed potatoes would take someone half a day to peel, cook and mash. Something restaurants don't want to spend that much time and money on.

Not completely frozen but in those cold cases. Tom Thumb carries them and so does Walmart.

Not true

There are all manner of potato peeling machines that will make short work of the peeling process

I�ve used them

great for camping when you gotta go light

yeah for sure that
