Thank you Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes for sponsoring this post. Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes are real potatoes, real easy, delivering homemade taste on demand.

Hey All!

I don’t know about you, but when I’m making dinner each night I like to make my meals to be quick, easy, and most importantly tasty! More often than not, I want to spend no more than 30 minutes to an hour making dinner. Who wants to spend hours slaving over a hot stove? I know I don’t! Thankfully, I can always do that because I love to make amazing dishes like Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes for dinner. I pair them with everything from roasted chicken to this mini pot pie I made for dinner this week. They are my FAVORITE mashed potatoes to make for dinner! They are made from 100% real Idaho® potatoes and are ready in just minutes! I think Idahoan Mashed Potatoes offer the best taste and texture compared to any other mashed potato I’ve tried. I can taste why it’s earned them the title of “America’s Favorite Mashed Potatoes.” I completely agree they are my personal favorite!

Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes come conveniently in this 4oz package you see below. They don’t cost much and they really deliver that homemade taste I’m looking for with my mashed potatoes on demand.  I have a family of potato-a-holics, so we know good mash potatoes when we taste it!

I also love that they come in a variety of delicious flavors, perfectly blended with real cheeses and authentic seasonings. You can find flavors like: Buttery Homestyle®, Butter and Herb, Bacon & Cheddar Chipotle, Roasted Garlic, Four Cheese, and Buttery Golden Selects. My favorite flavors are the Butter & Herb (which you see below) and the Roasted Garlic. We literally eat these at least once a week! We have meat loaf Mondays with them and sometimes we have them again on another day of the week like Sundays. This past weekend I made them with a mini beef pot pie and it was the perfect pairing for our dinner.

The pot pie took quadruple the amount of time it took to make these mashed potatoes. You simply boil some water, remove the water from the heat after it’s boiling, empty the package into the water and stir. That’s all you have to do to get some amazing tasting mashed potatoes thanks to Idahoan Mashed Potatoes!

I love that one little package is enough as a side for our whole family. I usually place some on a dish and then place any left over in a bowl in case anyone wants more when I serve these delicious mashed potatoes. Everyone at the table usually goes for more than what is on their plate. We never have any left over mashed potatoes at dinner. That’s how yummy they are!

As I said before, they go perfectly with a variety of dishes. They make the best side ever in my opinion.

If you’re in a time crunch and looking for a great side to make for your family this week, I highly recommend you get yourself some Idahoan Mashed Potatoes for dinner! They will save you a lot of time and your family will love them!
