We keep a couple packs of instant mashed potatoes on hand, but never to use by themselves. It's an acceptable way to quickly scale up real mashed potatoes if you've found that you need more than you planned for. As long as you don't overdo it, the result is adequate.
- russdill 10mo agoI keep canned peeled potatoes on hand they are very versatile and you end up with a better result
- Suppafly 10mo agoI use those all the time when I want fried potatoes.
- el_benhameen 10mo agoNot a bad way to thicken a soup, either. I prefer it to using cornstarch (a roux still has the best flavor and consistency in my opinion, though).
- CoastalCoder 10mo agoOne of my favorite kitchen hacks is to make batches of roux and then freeze it. I break off chunks when and as needed.
