Garlic French Bread Recipe and Idahoan Package Giveaway

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

I am not a cook by any means, but I do love trying new recipes from time to time. Del loves mashed potatoes. He prefers my homemade ones, but there are plenty of times when I don’t have the time to make them. Instant potatoes have become an important item to have in this house. When I was given the chance to review five varieties of Idahoan Flavored Mashed potatoes I was thrilled.

About Idahoan Potatoes

Idahoan potatoes are made from potatoes that are grown in Eastern Idaho  using a “proprietary one-pass process” to dehydrate them. They come in flavors ranging from original mashed potatoes to Bacon Cheddar Chipotle. You can make them in as little as 4 minutes.

My Review

I’ll share a little secret. I have NEVER learned how to make instant mashed potatoes UNTIL these Idahoan Flavored Mashed  Potatoes came in the house. These instant potatoes were easy to make. Boy do they taste good!

Del enjoyed the Buttery Homestyle flavor, although he said they needed more butter to make them smoother in texture.

The kids and I gobbled up the Loaded Baked Potato flavor. That became our favorite side dish with our meat meals. It’s certainly a lot quicker and cheaper than actually making loaded baked potatoes from scratch.

As you can tell, it’s really simple to make. The kids and I gobbled it up with our Stouffer’s® Lasagna we made. It made for an easy delicious meal. The kids did state that the Garlic French Bread tasted like pizza. I thought it gave it a bit of a crunchy taste with just the right amount of garlic to it.

  5. I use mashed potato flakes as a substitute for bread crumbs. They work well when combined in a casserole or meatloaf.

  6. Well, they are excellent in meatloaf and shepherd’s pie, and these look amazingly easy. They would also be delicious with some pot roast meat, carrots, and celery on top.
