    Could be worse. Could be generic brand.

    This with some bread and butter slaps

    I have never done this. Now I am questioning why

    Throw in a can of beans and you got yourself something.

  5. Next time use chicken broth instead of water and you will weep.

    That’s my go-to thing to eat when I’m having stomach problems. Because of medication I’m on, not eating when sick isn’t a possibility.

    i love these sm i add a lil less water so they’re thicker + some garlic and black pepper

    They have microwave cups meant for this that you can buy by the box.

    Idahoan are the best instant mashed potatoes, period. I prefer the real thing but in a time crunch, I always have a few bags in the pantry

  10. I get that packet all the time from Aldi. Taste pretty similar to KFC, IMO. Love it.

  11. I did this when I was going through alcohol withdrawals lmao. mashed potatoes have a lot of potassium, even the instant kind.

    Depends on how you classify it in your mind. As a meal, kinda weak. As a snack, probably one of the best you could come up with.

  13. I mean this is basically the same as buying those mash potatoes in a cup all it is, is just this but you add water to them and they’re packaged like that for convenience.

    ill take a cup of ramen over this any day….

    This is a valid food option. Add bacon bits.

    Add more water to make potato soup.

    Idahoan makes like 20 flavors and they are all bomb.

    I make them at home sometimes. Sometimes if I’m hungry enough I’ll make em with cold water in the back of my car. Great survival food so long as you have water

    This ain’t even shitty. This is a god-tier snack.

    Yo in the cup tho. I bet that makes it taste 10x better

  20. Grouchy-Scholar6623

    They have that in individual cups

  21. buttered_garlic

    Try it with a spoonful of pesto mixed in

    Never knew theres instant mash potatoes but i do remember seeing some posts making it inside plastic bottles so they can slowly squeeze out the mash

    Not sure if my country has these around but im actually kinda interested to try it out

    You could use the microwave in the back if youre feeling rebellious to your ways

    Just a tip if you bake a potato at home and bring and zap it in the microwave and add that to mix potatoes, it’s not bad. Do it fully loaded even.

    Do you like, just raw dog it like that or do you at least put some salt and pepper?

    They make single-serve cups that you can put in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. My family has them always on standby. The kiddos will grab one after school a lot of the time.

  27. Idahoan instant potatoes are delicious and make a great thickening agent for soups
