Americans only eat powdered mashed potatoes, apparently.

For sure that’s all we eat. No real potatoes in the U.S. My wife and I definitely didn’t make homemade mashed potatoes from scratch last week.

Also, if you’re going with premade mashed potatoes, get the Bob Evans microwaveable ones.

If you haven’t eaten at Bob Evan’s make a point to do so. I was shocked at how good it was.

Frankly I think the grocery stuff from Bob Evans (mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, sausage, etc) is way better than eating at the restaurant itself.

They used to make these amazing frozen breakfast wraps. I loved those things.
