Idahoan Packet Potatoes Instant.

[Sqad]

Best kept secret in years, now being advertised on TV.
Wonderful texture and taste.

[Old_Geezer]

Yes one keeps potatoes in the dark.
Plus you need to eat a lot of green spud to have issues.

[emmie]

my spuds are kept in the dark space in the kitchen, they do keep well i must add.

I'm kind of with Tilly on this. But I can certainly see the benefit in keeping them on hand to have once in a while., or for a single portion.

Agreed Pasta. If I was single I would probably survive on cheese, tomatoes and oat biscuits. I never cook for myself!! (Not true, just thought about cheese on toast!)

Wouldn't buy instant mash, potatoes keep well in a 'potato bag' , cotton bag that houses them in the dark,last for 2 to 3 weeks at least this time of year. Reminds me of growing up in our village where my parents won first prize in the school raffle, a very useful sack of potatoes,great for a family with three children.

I still buy potatoes by the sack from the local farm, I split them with my neighbour.

No idea Mallyh.....get them delivered from Amazon.

[Etch]

Crops of potatoes that I have grown have kept perfectly well for months, in paper sacks, in the dark of the garage.

Brilliant stuff. I always keep a few packets in the cupboard. Ideal for topping shepherds pie and yesterday I mixed it with left over greens for bubble and squeak.I make it with milk and extra butter rather than water.Mobility problems make cooking a chore for me these days and I find it difficult to peel spuds.Things like this make life a lot easier.
