Please post if you do. In the past I've hated the huge mess with mashed potatoes- this year I'd like to try something new. I need to prepare for 12-14 potato lovers......

Are you asking about making your own and freezing them or buying already made frozen mashed potatoes at the grocery store?

While visiting our DD last month, our son in law had smoked a pork roast and made some wonderful mashed potatoes and gravy. The potatoes were from Ore_Ida and are called Steam n' Mash from the freezer section. They are chunks of russet potatoes and you steam them in the microwave then mash them like you would your mashed potatoes. We just had to pick some up when we got home. 7 servings to the bag according to the bag. I guess that would depend on how big of serving are taken.

I've used the Steam 'n Mash and like them very much. It does take something like 12 minutes to microwave a whole bag, though, so you have to plan accordingly. Could probably do earlier and keep warm in the oven.

I have used them and they are fine. Taste is no different than regular at home. I cannot peel potatoes, so if I'm going to have them, I have to buy the frozen mashed or get baking potatoes to put in the oven.

I was shocked when going to dinner at my daughter-in-law's once and tasting her most excellent mashed potatoes only to find they were frozen! I don't know why, but I never would've imagined they would taste as good as 'real' mashed potatoes. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}$
