I kinda thought you were an evil person already. (and proud of it)  What do the mashed potatoes have to do with anything? ???   :laugh:

Concur. Boxed mashed potatoes doesn't impact Mike's status. Calling Mike evil gives him a bit too much credit. What's a better term?

I must shamefully admit, I like the Idahoan instant mashed potatoes.  Does this call for an intervention? Potatoes anonymous?

Concur, the baby reds are my go to instant version.  But I've already been taken by the dark side so you may want to exclude my opinion.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I was thinking more of this definition, especially the unimportant things part:
peev·ish
ˈpēviSH/Submit
adjective

easily irritated, especially by unimportant things.

"all this makes Steve fretful and peevish"
synonyms:   irritable, fractious, fretful, cross, petulant, querulous, pettish, crabby, crotchety, cantankerous, curmudgeonly, sullen, grumpy, bad-tempered, short-tempered, touchy, testy, tetchy, snappish, irascible, waspish, prickly, crusty, dyspeptic, splenetic, choleric;

I also like the instant mashed potato's. I always get the kind that comes in packets and is flavored (Like garlic butter or the loaded baked potato mix that has bacon in it)

And I have it on good authority that I am well liked, since apparently ya'll are trying to kill me off a la Game of Thrones.

Instant potatoes...

I do keep some around in the pantry, for times when we're in a hurry, or being lazy, or just don't have potatoes on hand.  I like to doctor up the instant potatoes...sour cream, or cheddar cheese and bacon.  Plain instant potatoes are just...plain.

Not a fan of them for actual mashed potatoes. But I do like them to soups and stuff.

I have pretty much lived off the single serving potato cups at work. In this great country you can also get somewhat crappy gravy in a jar too. Perfection. Favorite instant potatoes will always be kfc with thermonuclear gravy. Haven't had in decades.

That said, I boil a bunch of red potatoes with skin on and roughly mash. Stir in a pound of crumbled bacon and a diced onion sauteed in the grease. Add some butter for reasons and about a pound of shredded cheddar. Put cardiologist on speed dial and then dig in.

I actually like the Idaho packets. I usually keep a variety around especially the Garlic one and the Baby Red one. Since I am only cooking for myself most of the time they make a quick easy side dish. I would normally not make mashed if I was going to take the time to cook potatoes; I’d roast them on the grill in tinfoil or do potato salad instead.

Dear KD5, instant mashed potatoes make a wonderful field expedient hemostatic agent  in case of tragic bike or jackstand accidents. Who am I kidding, I come to this fact by way of my dad's white board of random thoughts and phone numbers.
