Idahoan Mashed Potatoes Review & Giveaway (Ends 12/28)

I participated in this event on behalf of Wendy's Bloggers for Idahoan Foods. I received Idahoan products to facilitate my review.


I have been familiar with Idahoan potatoes for many years, but I did not realize how many different flavor varieties they make or how many different recipes you can add them to. Quite an eye-opener!

Idahoan Flavored Mashed Potatoes helped us spend more time together as a family this Thanksgiving (in addition to a couple Sunday dinners with my in-laws). Using Idahoan Mashed Potatoes reduced the amount of time spent in the kitchen and allowed us to hang out and relax. 

I choose the Herbed Buttery Mashed Potatoes recipe for our Thanksgiving feast, because mashed potatoes are one of the ultimate comfort foods, and to me, adding herbed cheese kicked these 'taters up a notch....plus they are so simple to make!


Herbed Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Serves 4
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 4-oz package Buttery Homestyle Flavored Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 oz herbed chevre cheese
  • ½ tsp fresh thyme
Directions:
  1. Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions.
  2. Stir in cheese and thyme and serve.

 

Idahoan Flavored Mashed Potatoes come in a variety of flavors:

Buttery Homestyle: The ultimate comfort food. Buttery delicious goodness!
  *This is the product I used in my Herbed Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Baby Reds: Very creamy and peppered with red skins for a home-style look and decadent taste.
Loaded Baked:  Packed with flavor from the cheese, onion, sour cream and bacon in it.
Four Cheese: Very rich in sharp cheese flavor.
Roasted Garlic: Very subtle garlic flavor and tasty!


Visiting Idahoan's website is a must! Idahoan Potatoes has recipes using their mashed potatoes from soup, appetizers, side dishes.....even desserts like cakes and trifles.

  8. Okay, you had me at mashed potatoes... I'm just saying. Now I'm hungry and have no mashed potatoes. Time to get motivated to go to the store and get some. This is so much quicker than making them from scratch.

  11. These mashed potatoes are so good!! When my husband was overseas and I had a new baby by myself, I didn't want to go downstairs all the time so I figured out how to make these in my bedroom using the hot water cooler in my room haha. So convenient!

  12. I like to use them to thicken soups and stews and to add a little something to breading of chicken or fish! Great for a busy work night! New flavors sound interesting as well!
