Idahoan Loaded Baked Mashed Potatoes, 4 oz Pouch

These Idahoan loaded mashed potatoes are so good. We usually make homemade, but this is our preferred choice when we're in a rush. PLUS, the leftovers make the best deep fried potato balls. Just take about 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, some finely sliced green onions, and about 1 cup of your favorite shredded cheese, and mix it all together. Take a nice size amount (golf ball size) roll them in your hand until smooth, and then roll in panko bread crumbs and fry at 350° for just a couple of minutes. Let them sit to cool until safe to eat, and enjoy! Perfect with dips like mayo and ketchup, mustard, or ranch. Any dip you choose, and watch the cheese ooze! So good!

I really love mashed potatoes and I love to make it from scratch, however there are times that I want to make mashed potatoes at the last minute for supper and this is something that it is always convenient. I do use really good butter, not margarine, and I add it while the water is boiling and I do use part of the measured water I put milk, whole milk, and it comes out nice and creamy, I also add black pepper and also Parsley to the finished potatoes so it gives it a "home-made" feel. When in a hurry to get dinner ready, try this and you'll like it.
