TIL that people actually buy boxed mashed.
I used to have a bread machine and it came with a recipe for potato bread that used instant mash and it was so damn good.
I got rid of it after I gained like 100lbs. Still have the 100lbs but don't have the bread.
That seems like a totally legit use of instant mashed. I just feel like I’ve never known anyone to make “mashed potatoes” from instant (maybe as a backpacking thing). Maybe there are people out there that are overthinking mashed? Super easy if you do just a few things right.
