We keep them on hand. Our quick meal is canned deer meat and instant potatoes. I can have a meal ready in 10 minutes.

The Idahoan loaded potato soup is good too for a fast warm meal.

I love them too. Sometimes a package is all I have for dinner .Lots of butter and some coarse ground pepper, Mmmmmm. Nothing wrong with home made smashed potatoes of course.

Exactly.

They are great in soups and stews as a thickener.

I keep them on hand to use solely in soups and stews.

The powdered variety with a bit of seasoning makes a pretty good dredge for trout.

ya i use them when i do big cooks for the legion dinners or otherwise. oreida i think is the brand i use. they turn out great and nobody complains. follow the directions on the box to the letter. they seem a little sloppy at first but set up nicely after a bit.

but if i do a family sized dinner, i still go native.

If made with milk and butter, they are not too bad. If just made with water, they are nasty. They make a good thickener for soups.
