Idahoan Loaded baked flavored mashed potatoes — 

Idahoan Loaded baked flavored mashed potatoes - Blended together potatoes,butter, sour cream,onions,chives,and bacon flavor .Enjoy the full flavor of a loaded potato without the extra time or cost.Made with 100% Idaho potatoes.

I'm the first to say I hate instant mashed potatoes until I tried this brand it is smooth creamy and does not have that artifical taste as other instant potato products seem to carry.I am not  a big fan of bacon bits in my potato but there is a small amount in this flavor so with all the flavors blended I didn't seem to notice a strong taste of them and really like them.

I cooked these for easter dinner last year,and my mother and law couldn't believe they were instant,she hates instant too!! Idahoan potatoes comes in a variety of flavors and has earned "The Chef'sBest award for "Best taste overall" among leading proffessional chefs..."

I like this variety for a quick side dish,add 2- cups boiling water stir done.Great for hot days,days when you need dinner in a hurry.Or just a plain good old side dish for family dinner.My littest son refers to these potatoes as the no-lumps version,I though that was cute :) One time I had small chunks of potato in my regular homemade mashed potatoes and he didn't care for that.

Sells for around a dollar for a 4 ounce package,Makes 4 - 1/2 cup servings,for a family of five I sometimes make 1-2 bags depending on the amount of food that I am cooking.

I'll have to give these a try. You might like the Bob Evans. They aren't instant, but they just microwave for under 10 minutes. My youngest likes them a lot.

There's a lot to be said for instant mashed potatoes and these sound good.
