Can I substitute Idahoan Perfect Mash potatoes in recipes calling for “Fresh” potatoes?

Yes, you can easily use our potatoes in a recipe that calls for fresh potatoes. One cup of prepared Idahoan Mashed Potatoes = one medium fresh potato.

What is the best flavor of mashed potatoes?

You will have to try them and decide for yourself but in our opinion you really can’t go wrong with any of them. The guy who made this website loves Perfect Mash Buttery best.

What is the best dish to eat with potatoes?

If you ask us nothing goes better with potatoes than more potatoes! Seriously though, we think that potatoes go with anything so find your favorite combination and let us know how you like your potatoes.

I would like to suggest a recipe, how do I do that?

Please send us an email through the contact us page and tell us how to make your creation. We will try it and if we like it enough we will ask if we can use it as one of our featured recipes on our website.

Can I make your potatoes ahead of time and keep them in the fridge?

We don’t suggest this because your potatoes can become watery. All you have to do is have the water boiling, add the potatoes, and stir. It is a very quick and easy process.

Why are there dark spots in my potatoes?

On rare occasions the skins of potatoes manage to get through during the cutting and sorting process in our plants. Potato skins are not harmful to your health but we do understand discovering them may be surprising.
