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?

Hats off to the manufacturers for trademarking the state of Idaho for instant mash purposes.

Not since I discovered frozen mash.....

It's way better than frozen mash!

Not something we'd eat every week but it is brilliant!

We probably glow in the dark for a fortnight but I don't seem to be able to keep potatoes these days.

Had some cheesy mash tonight, finishing off our veg sausages out of the freezer before our hols.

Idahoan SiL sent me some pics of saute potato offerings they do in the US.

I was always snobby about people who use smash but I had some Idaho mash at a friends house and now it's a store cupboard staple for me.

That's it, I'm going to buy some tomorrow.

I'm so suggestible that I now definitely want some!

It's amazing. Could go some now.

I quite often have the cheddar one with gravy for my supper when I'm on nights and want something hot and carby to keep me going.

I had some tonight, mashed in a leftover roasted sweet potato from last night and some butter, had it with gammon was lovely.

I've seen this and been curious - will give it a whirl. Haven't had anything like it since Smash which was a bit dubious

Love it! Discovered it in Florida on holiday a few years ago, delighted when realised you get it here too. The cheesy one is fine.

Might have to try this

Yes it is the best and if I have mash I use Idaho smash

Is it really too hard to peel a few spuds! Nothing beats a real potato with proper butter and a pinch of salt!

It is when I get home at 7 and need to feed the kids!

DP likes this one but I hate it and much prefer sainsburys own brand instant mash.

DS loves it as a quick snack, but I am a convert after tasting it as it is by some magic very good. A fast and dirty fave dinner here is frozen yorkies, precooked sausages warmed up in the microwave, peas, gravy and Idohoan mash. Done in 5 minutes if you do the yorkies in the air fryer but feels like a full on dinner

Tried it last night based on the rave reviews in here. The unanimous response was “do not feed me that stuff again”!

Did you stir it too much as it will go gloopy. The trick is to pour it into the boiling water, quickly swoosh it with a fork so it's all covered then completely leave it alone for a couple of minutes. I do it in a saucepan and pop a lid on to keep it warm.

If you did all that and still hated it - nevermind!

Yeah I may have done - thanks.

I bought 2 packs so I’ll try that with the second one.

This is such an atypical MNs thread. Posters raving about a carby processed food! 😆

I'm going to try, I'm quite partial to Sainsbury's frozen mash which I add milk & butter too.

Another Idahoan mash evangelist here - the herby flavour one is divine!

The very best thing about Idahoan, from my point of view, is that a single packet makes exactly enough mash for three people. We're a household of three adults and we always seem to end up with half a packet of this or a quarter of a bottle of that left over from mealtime products that are designed for either two or four people.

I have bought the cheesy mash Idahoan mash. Now if I can get hold of Bonne Cuisine maderia wine gravy sachet then that’s my life sorted!
