BatchelorsOriginal Instant Mashed Potato Made From Real Potato, 360 g Tub (Pack of 1)

Very tasty and excellent quality and great texture and great value for money

Easy to use if you keep mixing after adding boiling water. A nob of butter adds to finish. All in all very good value for money. Often use this product for a quick meal add on.

This is getting a little pricey when it's out of offer pricing but it is extremely useful, not just for a quick bit of mash.I use it as a thickener and also in fishcakes, in soups etc. Also great as part of a coating instead of flour for chicken or fish etc. E.g. mix Smash with semolina and spices...pan fry for 30 seconds to 'set it' then finish in an air frier or oven (air friers of course blow and loose coatings make a right mess.. hence setting in pan first. Works really well on homemade jacket chips and roasties too. Lots of uses beyond just mash.If you prepare and freeze food meals in containers for microwave reheating it is also useful. E.g. it is great for meals such as sausage in onion gravy with mash and peas. You reduce the water content when mixing the Smash and after freezing and defrosting the mash won't dissolve into a liquid mush. Just be sure to also make thicker gravy and firmer mash and it'll successfully hold its form.The best way to make up Smash (works for everyone every time) is to weigh out your Smash in a large prewarmed bowl, add salt and a lump of butter to dry ingredients, and pour the boiling water from a measuring jug all in one go minus about 25ml and use a dessertspoon, not a fork, to mix together ...and mix it quickly until you see it is fully combined and it comes out perfectly every time. If you want it softer add the remaining water. I find the butter makes up for a little less water though.

These are not the normal recipe that you would buy from the shops, I buy lots of these as they are for my dogs. The powder is more white than cream, they also mix up differently, so do not use the normal amount of water, save a little water and only use it if needed, these also mix up a little tacky, as for the taste, I couldn't tell you but my dogs still eat it so there's that lol.If I was to take a punt, these are rejects, so be aware of that.

as usual this was easy to make and very tasty and good potato flavour

Excellent product & quick delivery service 👌

its mash in a can.. what is there to say? super easy to pair with a balanced meal when you're short of time. tastes good with tons of butter in it, price is good.

I use this to thicken pie fillings, makes a lovely thick gravy, without that cornflour taste.Bought 2 of these for various uses, always handy to have and in a pinch, with a little milk and butter, makes good mash too if you are in a hurry. I have vacuum sealed one tub, just to extended its shelf life, obviously not in the container, lol.Main reason for buying such a mundane item from Amazon, the price, £3.60 in the supermarket, much less from Amazon, delivered
