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?

Ooh I love some mixed tocopherols 😋

<twirls>

I haven’t looked up what mixed tocopherols actually are, and I’m conscious they might not be great…but I like the sound of the words so much

😂you’ve absolutely picked the right ingredient!

Ooh, any chance you'd share your potato bread recipe please?

It’s basically just a fancy term for different sources of vitamin E. 😂

😇

It is very nice. I got some from Waitrose! Must get more.

It’s my favourite of the instant mashed potato products. I have a couple of mocks in for those days when I’m sick as a dog post-migraine; they hit the carb and salt need perfectly with a bit of cheese or gravy.

I bought some for my aunt and uncle (in their 90s) to try, I did think they'd hate it. No, they love it and have asked me to get them another couple of packs if I see it for around a quid. Home Bargains had it recently so will try there probably tomorrow.

Whereabouts would I find it in the supermarket, feeling a need to do some research......?

No palm oil? I'm in! Where do you get it from?

I wish they did a dairy free version 😋

I sometimes get a real craving for corned beef hash. It was a staple of my childhood, usually with a fried egg on top. Using Idahoan and the air fryer I can make it with very little mess in about 10 minutes.

That sounds yummy! I’m supposed to be on a diet too!

My new favourite meals are the small pizzas - so
Sainsburys Taste the Difference tomato and cheese pizza - tried the basic Waitrose one the other day as no others in the small Waitrose not the same! I did nuke a large yacht potato and do a quick salad which made it healthier.

My DM back in 70s would rarely get us Smash until one day we pleaded for it and had it with chipolatas, gravy and peas. She then had some in always.

Would be great for camping! Sausage and mash and gravy 😀😀

Did anyone ever try the Idahoan potato slices that I think had cheese in it?

They were absolutely fantastic and I've never been able to get them since. Tried all the supermarkets but they only do the assorted mash ones.

Would live to get that one again.

Tried it but not a fan , I’d rather have my husbands million calorie mash once a month as a treat

I've had a stroke, and whilst DH is a whizz with pasta and rice dishes, traditional British food is not his strength.

He was amazed how easy it was to knock up a Shepherds or fish pie using this.

It's great for camping, fry some sausages and onions et voilà bangers and mash for dinner!

I'll have to try it again, wasn't a fan
Do like the frozen mash though

Sorry! I meant to post this weeks ago!

I'm in the US and have US measuring cups and spoons. You can find these sometimes in TK Maxx.

OMG I've just had this for the first time after seeing this thread, bloody lovely.
I'm going to take it on a self catering holiday, so much easier and quicker than fresh. Also perfect if you are cooking for one as you can just make up the amount you want. Multiple packs will be purchased!

I love it! Not as good as my home made mash, but fab for a quick mid week meal

I've just made it for the first time, I can't get over how nice it is? I did as a PP said and didn't fork overly let it sit and put a blob of butter in it.

And I've just spotted your reply - thank you!

I have a set of cups etc at home as I have a few US recipes I use. Thanks again, looking forward to trying this.

Ah damn, you’ve reminded me I meant to ask some friends to bring some here when they came to visit! It’s epic and I HATE making mash

Bloody scandanavia and it’s dislike of convenience food!
