Nasty powdery texture like instant mash.
Nasty powdery texture and tastes weird. It's basically instant mashed potato just like Smash - potato powder, water and milk all mixed together. Won't be buying again.
Less bother than making it yourself
I hardly ever make my own mash as this is so quick and easy and much less bother! It is just the right size for two people as well.
it arrived open!!! what a waste

I loathed it. A weird smell & horrible aftertaste.
I have no cooker at the moment & bought this to try as I love mash potatoes. It's the right sort of consistency but it smells odd (it was well within date) very artificial & 1970s bad school dinners. I tried a teaspoon full. Chucked the rest. Most reviews are really good so perhaps it's just me. But I was very disappointed & wont bother again.
Wonderfully easy mash
I buy this very regular and absolutely love it, I personally like to add a little more lurpak butter to it, but it does taste lovely without. My family love it, I used when making shepherd's pies, have it with homemade beef casserole and definitely with a roast dinner if I am not making roast potatoes, but these I always make my own. This ready mashed potatoes takes out alot of unnecessary steaming and it's 5 stars from my house.
Very handy to have ready when you simply can't be
Very handy to have ready when you simply can't be bothered to make fresh, and I frequently can't be bothered 😉 Probably get one a week or more. Also excellent for mixing with chopped spring onions, cabbage, or cooked onions. Adequately seasoned and fortunately it doesn't taste of butter which I cannot abide. Always a good idea to prick a couple of small holes in a couple of corners and rest it on its side so any excess water can run off, but that's not always necessary.
Very impressed with this!
I absolutely love this mashed potato - so easy to prepare and for a little extra flavour I like to add a bit of butter afterwards and it's really nice! Much less faff then making it from scratch and usually has a pretty good best before date on it.
Duration not accurate
This item is never delivered with a 1+ week date on it. I ordered this as I am housebound on my own next week and the date is up in 4 days so will have to be used by Tuesday at the latest. Very disappointing
Simply amazing, great for Thursday pie night.

What Happened?? It's fallen out!
What has happened to this? Used to be a good "go to" when you couldn't be bothered to peel/chop/boil/mash potatoes. My latest purchase of this was full of water and very runny - I didn't realise how runny it was until I went to drain the water out and the entire carton of slop poured into the sink before I could stop it.
