Works-For-Me Wednesday: Yukon Instant Mashed Potatoes


What is workin' for me lately are these great mashed potatoes that I got at Costco. They are instant! Gasp - did she say "instant"? She's eating those artificial flakes full of preservatives? No, no my friends!

These are instant real mashed potatoes. All-natural Yukon gold potatoes. The ingredients listed on the box: Yukon gold potatoes (with peel), and butter. Yup! That's it! And they do taste great. I especially love how fast the prep is - so nice to have quick mashed potatoes, but good for you at the same time!



Now I have nothing against making mashed potatoes from scratch, but this is a nice alternative to have on hand for us busy moms. Sadly, I am not getting anything from Costco or anybody else for endorsing these - no free Costco membership, no lifetime supply of Yukon Golds - sigh - LOL!!

I know these have been in Costco for quite some time - guess I am a little slow. Have you already had them?

P.S. I'm over at Chic Critique today with a Spring Cleaning (your cosmetics, not your house!) post. Please leave me a comment over there and say hello!

  1. We don't have costco in Ireland. I'm afraid when I'm busy I resort to the old fashioned box of E numbers (now with added potato).

  2. Will you send me a box? The closest Costco is over 50 miles away. LOL. I would have to try them to believe they are good! LOL. But I would get them just based on your recommendation! See how much I value your opinion? Hee! Hee!

  3. The pic on the box looks delicious! But I don't have a Costco near me either. But maybe they have them at BJs. I'll keep an eye out for them. Take care my friend! Hope you have a great Wednesday!

  5. Oh! Good tip! I'll be trying these out!

    I make really crummy mashed potatoes. They're always lumpy. And I've never found an instant version that was any good.

  7. I DON'T HAVE A COSTCO, BUT I HAVE BEEN USING HUNGRY JACK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND LOVE THEM.

    YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY OLDEST SISTER ROLL HER EYES AT ME WHEN SHE FOUND OUT. THEN SHE TRIED THEM.

    YEAH, SHE LIKED THEM.
    THINK I'LL POST ABOUT IT.
