For a QUICK, easy and yummy recipe, this is tops. This is great for days you don't have to spend on making mashed potatoes. Very close to homemade without all the fuss. I'm shocked at the low ratings the food snobs gave without even giving the recipe a try. Of course homemade is better, but when you're having a busy day, these are perfect. Shame on those people low rating without trying it.

Since this recipe was first published in the "Quick Cooking" magazine, perhaps quickness and convenience should be taken into consideration before judging a dish without actually making it. And not all cooks are women (or ladies)! My husband actually makes this for himself and for his camping buddies on fishing trips in a camping trailer where quickness and convenience are important to him. He says no one has ever complained about the recipe being made from instant potatoes -- they just chow down! I've eaten it myself and don't find it half bad. So I'll give it a 5-star rating for what it actually is and to even out the low ratings a bit.

I will try not to be as harsh a others have. I too would not think of using instant potatos....however we must remember, not all ladies these days can cook or even like too. Thank heavens I do!

The questions is "Would you make this recipe again?" I wouldn't even attempt to make this recipe -- why would you used a "boxed" potato when fresh is soooooo much better?!?
