Idahoan Potato Mash, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Cooks in 1 Minute, Pantry Food, Cheddar Cheese Bulk Pack of 12

Easy to make and tastes great

As a child I remember Smash, which to be honest, wasn't very nice at all so I wasn't expecting much from this product at all. How wrong I was, its absolutely lovely, so quick to make and to be honest very hard to tell the difference between this and 'real' mash. I have all the flavours except for garlic. Makes enough for 3 people, so plenty for us and any leftovers warm up well or can be repurposed for making fishcakes etc, buy it you'll be pleasantly surprised at how good it tastes and the texture.

This tastes just like Smash used to taste when I was a little girl! These days, I think Smash is a poor version of what it once was, as it hasn't tasted so good for a number of years (and it always ends up lumpy when I make it). These Idahoan instant mashed potatoes really brought back memories of how Smash once tasted though.It has a wonderful full flavour, a creaminess, and the cheese is neither fake tasting nor overpowering. I didn't find it too runny when made up with the full stated amount of water either (some reviewers said they wanted less water than the amount stated). I've also had no issues making lump-free mash. It would appear that you need some very good skills to make this lumpy.To be honest, it's a very good price for what I think is the best instant potato out there.The only catch is that it apparently serves 3 people, but really I don't think it's three decent portions. For two adults (especially if one's a fella), it's two generous portions but you would have to be a bit mean to stretch it out further. Plan on making up to two packets worth for a family of four with good appetites, I think.

Wonderful! Second order. I make Welsh rissoles with this brand potato mash. The cheese in it is lovely!

Still the best instant mash I've ever had -- make with 25% whole milk and a bit of extra cheese to turbo charge the experience.The only annoyance was the packs had a short "best before", only 4 months.

So.. it's mash and you can't say too much about it right? ... it tastes like decent quality mash far better than some cheaper instant mash potato... i'd rather this over most i'd buy otherwise.. and provided you can get the price rightthese packets currently seem to be retailing for around £1 per packet, and amazon is doing deals which put it in that sort of range and for the quality and price, their well worth it ... some of the more exotic (and even nicer) flavours are selling on amazon for far more - and sadly, the extra 60-70p will always make me go to the supermarket over the convenience (as their almost 2x supermarket pricing) even though they are VERY nice (especially the garlic one) ...All in all .. if you see these at around £1/pack (Mar 2023) their very much worth the purchase and you'll not regret the taste.

Love this mash
