I let my wife pick dinner again. I offered her oven fries but she opted for instant mashed potatoes with instant chicken gravy. She regrets that decision. But it was tasty.
Beef was free. Cost per person: $1.30 Cost if you have to buy the beef: $3.55
Bonus pic. Worst miss en place ever is in the comments.
I need to stop asking what they want. Roast me in the comments.
I normally make my mashed potatoes from scratch. It was my first job in the kitchen. And then one day at a gay club in San Diego I discovered Idahoan made an acceptable quick option that was sometimes cheaper than the real deal. I am not known for my brand loyalty. I will normally buy the generic if it’s the same basic thing. But for over 20 years I have been exclusively Idahoan until last night when I made this with Great Value brand.
The basic butter option worked. They don’t have the red potato option so I will still have to occasionally get the Idahoan.
I will give those a shot. We are always on a time crunch to make dinner, so quick and tasty is usually our go to. Thanks!
It’s not homemade. There is no confusion on that. But it’s definitely a step up from KFC mashed potatoes.
