It is also good for softening flour. For some baked or steamed goods you want flours that has slightly less gluten than all purpose flour but more than cake flour. Adding a bit of instant potato flakes or corn flour is an easy way to adjust it.

Always use the stuff to thicken gravies and sauces. Imparts less flavour than other thickeners, and doesn't need to be cooked out like flour.

A staple in my cupboard too. Good iron rations for when things get tight in the winter especially. Also invented by a Canadian!

I love dehydrated mashed potatoes. My dad taught me a good method for making smooth and creamy mashed potatoes.

I heard about a recipe for gnocchi with instant mash potatoes. Possibly a video about how to use it in the future...? 😇❤️

They are also good to add in to bread dough or cinnamon bun dough. Keeps it light and fluffy.

Great as a coating when pan frying - love it on a piece of stripped bass.

There seems to be an awful lot of snobbery about instant mash. Don't know why, it's a very useful product.

Use it as a gluten free flour coating when pan frying something.

I make fried fish using instant potatos as the flour crust

[Perceptious]

also really good in breading for deepfrying. gives some more crunch

Here in Canada a croquette is used to describe anything that is fried in batter or breadcrumbs, including des croquettes de poulet (chicken nuggets), but also kibble, aka dry food for animals.

So like how Chinese use corn flour and Indians use besan/gram flour ( black chickpea flour+ rice flour).

[loman]

Good for gnocchi as well to get a better consistency

I like to fill up my socks with it, use those socks to beat people who use instant mash, I wouldn't say it's a replacement for a baseball bat but I would say have a bag on hand just incase.

[UnproductiveSunbeam]

This is a great short, super helpful and engaging in a very short space of time

[oliviertonnoir]

Potato waffles! Replace flour from your recipe (may require some adjustment, maybe with the yeast). Delicious with smoked salmon and sour cream. Enjoy!

[clownworld]

Just get the frozen pellets. They are generally ok

[DerpyPannycake]

Is this sponsored? I notice you often make a point to show brand names or logos

Smash is a much maligned despite being a great product. People are irrational, they can't explain why they dislike something, sometimes.
I use it a lot, it's great for Gnocchi, fish cakes, Croquettes or on its own with lots of butter and cheese. Delicious. I combine it with a wet yeast dough and make savoury doughnuts.
