I quit making mashed potatoes from scratch when I discovered SIMPLY POTATOES in the refrigerated section at Harris Teeter . They taste just like homemade.

Thanks Reilly.  I don't shop much at Walmart so I tend to forget about them.  I'll try to see if I can get the Reds there.

We like Simply Potatoes - the version with the lowest sodium content. They’re in the refrigerated case. I used to microwave it, but it’s even easier to heat up in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Just stir it occasionally, add a little butter and it tastes great! They’ll never know they’re not homemade if they don’t see the package.

Another vote for Bob Evans!😋

We love our homemade mashed potatoes, but sometimes (as in a Shepherd's Pie recipe) I like to use instant... SO much easier.  I used to buy Betty Crocker potato buds and they were delicious.  They're not the same any more.   Have you found an instant one that's *really* good?  TIA

simply potatoes in the refrigerated section of the grocery store....ours are usually near the eggs.

schwans home delivery frozen mashed potatoes. quite good for being frozen.

for something different on top of shepherds pie, try a layer of tater tots!

I've never seen or perhaps noticed Simply Potatoes. I'll have to look for them. I'm interested in trying them.

Trader Joe's has frozen potato buds.  Microwave for 2 minutes.  They are divine.

I occassionally doctor them with cream cheese or sour cream.  

I've also had the Bob Evans which are quite good.

I use Bob Evans for Thanksgiving every year!   My family doesn't know any difference.  I microwave 2-3 packages, dump them in my crockpot that has been sprayed with cooking spray, dot with butter, then add 2-3 more microwaved packages dotted with butter.  

If I need instant, I use Idahoan.  I have also used real homemade mashed potatoes and mixed them with Idahoan instant to double the amount of potatoes for large gatherings.  No one seems to notice that the potatoes aren't all homemade!
