This blog post describes why fake mashed potatoes just don't cut it. They don't compare to the real ones. Real potatoes are a very healthy vegetable. Surprisingly, they haven't really started adding nutrients to the fake mashed potatoes. Actually, that is really surprising because companies have done that to everything else.
My mom always makes real mashed potatoes. Our family probably goes through five pounds of potatoes every week. Every once in a while, my mom will get me some food from the store that I can bring to college. It surprised me that a couple weeks back she bought me some fake powdered mashed potatoes that I can add water to and heat up in the microwave. I can tell you that if you were raised on real potatoes all your life, fake mashed potatoes taste like crap unless you get the ones that are sour cream or butter flavored. Those taste okay.
I totally agree with this blog post. Real mashed potatoes are so much better.
