Idahoan Baby Reds Mashed Potatoes, 4.1 oz Pouch

I've loved the Idahoan Baby Reds mashed potatoes for several years and I've passed on the word of how yummy and easy they are. As a senior i buy the packets instead of cooking potatoes and boiling. They are so easy and yet I prefer these to real home cooked taters. Too much work making them the old way. My daughter has twins and some days cooking supper needs to be quick and still delicious. Or my other friends that I've fed and they honestly thought I prepared the side dish the old way. I'm just worried bc lately I'm finding it harder to buy the baby reds. Prices are crazy now as well. I pay $1.44 a small packet but the prices are 2 for $7. in the Walmart app and that is way too much. I'm planning to stock up this month ahead, I fear one day in the near future they'll be hard to find.

These are my favorite packaged mashed potatoes. I'm picky about how the flavor. These really do have a homemade taste. Full of flavor! I especially love the small pieces of the red potatoe skin. They are thick, chunky %26 really do taste awesome. I don't buy any other because these are by far, the best I've ever tried!

So easy to make and the taste is great! Very smooth consistency, excellent flavor and you really can't mess up making it! We use this for both quick meals and even for holidays. It's as close as you can get without buying a bunch of potatoes and mashing them yourself.

Makes meal planning A lot easier and the taste is great. I was never into instant potatoes but had to try them and been a loyal purchaser since. Makes life a little easier and that in itself helps make dinner a little quicker without loosing the fresh taste.

Very easy and uses water. DH grew up with instant mashed potatoes and loves these. If I am having some, I use a less amount of liquid with half water/half milk and add in butter. DH loves them the original way, and the next morning I will pan-fry leftovers in patties to go with his eggs. So easy to make when I don't feel like cooking.

Boil 2 cups of water. while water is boiling, pour contents of the package into proper size bowl, I add a pinch of salt, butter to taste, a pinch of pepper, 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, mix well and then pour boiling water into your mixture, stir well til all you have is beautiful mashed potatoes. for creamier potatoes, add 1 or 2 tbsp of milk. Voila'

These are so yummy. Put the required amount of hot water in the bowl, stir in contents of package. Put the lid or some kind of covering on the bowl set the timer for 5 minutes. after 5 minutes remove the cover from bowl stir and serve. I add a little butter and pepper to mine.

They taste great and doesn't get any easier just boil water and mix in . Also great side note the amount of water needed is 16 fluid ounces which is the amount in most all bottled water so when I'm camping don't need measuring cups! Only reason a 4 not 5 is occasionally there are some chunks in them nothing gross just the dried butter in the mix?

I found 3 black pieces in these potatoes. The last bag was good despite the unreal amount of sodium, this bag, I took one bite and the rest went in the trash, gross! Maybe the unknown black “things” ruined it for my taste buds! In the picture I have put toothpicks with the black objects

I waited and waited for a discount offer, placed a huge order once I received one, only to immediately receive a better offer after placing my order. It enrages me when companies do that. If you are willing to provide a 20% discount then do it, don't offer me a 15% discount then once I place order offer a 20% discount. Its shoddy marketing and makes me completely disloyal. Doesn't matter the quality of product.
