I like instant mashed potatoes since I grew up with them. They don't hold a candle to the real thing, but if you make 'em right (which to me usually means a little less liquid and a little more butter/margarine than the package calls for), they're a good enough substitute with far less effort.

I grew up on instant mashed potatoes. The only way to eat them is as GD describes, otherwise they can be runny and that's just yucky. They are also very good with a few things added in.

When my stepmom first moved in with my Dad she was sure we were lying about instant mashed potatoes, hamburger helper and many other things!
