Idaho mash

[cocksstrideintheevening]

Just had some for dinner. I don't make mash, CBA. Mostly cook everything else 'from scratch'.

It might be my new favourite food.

Anyone else like it?

Never heard of it!

Best thing ever!! I was sceptical but it’s better than my mash and so much less faff.

Also great to thicken soups/stews with!

Delicious I’ve had it once but the calorie content is massive, I believe it’s an American product. Probably packed with UHPF s . It’s like crack.

Ooh I've got one in the cupboard for emergencies but I might have to try it now!

What is it?

Like Smash but tastes like proper mash. It’s some kind of wizardry.

I think it's great! Much more like real mashed potato than other types.

My only grumble is that all of the 'flavoured' types have garlic in, which we all detest, so we only have the plain but it's lovely.

It's really good and usually on offer for a quid somewhere. Much better than having a pot of potatoes boiling for ages in the hot weather.

Yum!

IDAHO® POTATOES, VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT, SUNFLOWER), MALTODEXTRIN, SALT, SUGAR, BUTTERMILK POWDER, NONFAT DRY MILK, BUTTER (CREAM, SALT), MONOGLYCERIDES, CALCIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, NATURAL FLAVORS. FRESHNESS PRESERVED BY SODIUM ACID PYROPHOSPHATE, SODIUM BISULFITE, CITRIC ACID, AND MIXED TOCOPHEROLS.

Great for camping etc and lovely too !

I've just added some to my tesco shop, I figure the ingredients could be worse and its worth a try.

Idaho potatoes make the best mash!

Oh you once did this on a pasta sauce thread I started. Glad to see you’re still going!

The garlic one is my favorite..yummm

It's very nice.

I'm happy to be consistent @Ostryga

I have some bread machine recipes for potato rolls and potato bread and use it in those.

When DD4 was learning to feed herself with a spoon I used to mix up a bowl for her at lunch and chop cooked veg to stir in. She loved it.

This stuff is great for hiking. High calorie and hot.

We bought it at the start of lockdown when food shortages were happening and thought it might be a good emergency food if we couldn't get fresh potatoes. Omg what a revelation. Its bloody lovely. Tastes better than mash I make.

I find it smells like rhubarb 🤷🏻‍♀️ Love the Sainsburys one though 😋

I tried it in December and wanted to evangelise so the whole family got a packet in their Christmas gifts! Incredible stuff!

Love it. Saw flavours you can't get here in San Francisco when I was there and brought quite a few packets home with me

Gong, no wonder it tastes so good! I bought several packets for a quid each when my DH gave me some and I thought it was made from scratch.

Gong? Omg!

Hmm I’ve seen this but never bought it. Tempted now.

Do you just add boiling water?

I used to love eating dried Smash as a child.
