I’ve partnered with Idahoan on this sponsored post and all opinions stated are my own.
With three kids and another on the way, our weeknights are busy. Our nights can get filled up by all kinds of school activities from marching band to choir to parenting meetings and curriculum nights, which leaves little time for dinner. I get so annoyed with myself when I look at the clock and realize it’s dinner time, and I have nothing planned.
My family loves a home cooked meal, and Sunday dinner is the gold standard. Â It’s when I go all out and make just about everything from scratch. Â While it’s amazing, it also can take forever, which I don’t have time on the weeknights.
One of their favorite side dishes is mashed potatoes. I grew up with a mom who often made mashed potatoes with potato flakes, but when I got married, my husband only wanted the real thing. Nowadays, homemade potatoes just takes too long for a weeknight meal with peeling and cutting potatoes and waiting for them to boil and soften. But, I’ve found a solution that is going to knock you and your family’s socks off — Idahoan Signature Russets!
I have to admit I was skeptical until I tasted them. Â They take just a few minutes to whip up with water and some milk and butter. Â Oh my goodness, they honest to goodness taste like I slaved over the stove making mashed potatoes from scratch. Â They’re creamy and buttery and taste oh so good!
You will not be able to tell they weren’t made from scratch — they are that good! Â My kids took one taste and LOVED them, all three of them! Â Even my husband was impressed, and my 6 year old wanted seconds, which is just unheard of around here. Â Idahoan Signature Russets can make any weeknight meal taste like a Sunday supper!
Are you dying to know their secret? Every 16 oz package has more than six pounds of premium Idahoan russet potatoes that were grown in volcanic rich soil during warm summer days and cool summer nights.  Plus, they  have a new proprietary processing method that maintains the potato’s natural goodness and texture, which means they taste just like homemade!
In just five minutes you can make these delicious potatoes with milk and butter or just water! Â Not only that, but the new pouches are re-sealable!
Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes are available now nationwide at stores like Walmart and Kroger! Pick some up for a great weeknight meal to taste like a Sunday supper!

We are big potato lovers in our house. Mashed and roasted are our favorites, but I am always up for new ideas.
I like taking the easy way out to get dinner on the table during the week, but we haven’t tried the Idahoan brand yet. I’ll have to pick some up the next time I’m at the store.
I can’t believe I’ve never tried this brand before. It’s awesome and it sounds amazing. It’s definitely the perfect side especially for this season. It makes cooking easier for us moms too!
Mashed potatoes are a favorite, especially paired with roast chicken. I usually make them from scratch, but this sounds like a much quicker way to enjoy some tasty comfort food.
I love potatoes and especially mashed potatoes. I like to keep this kind in the fridge since it’s so much easier. I add in some sour cream to make it taste more like homemade.
My hubs is obsessed with mashed potatoes. He loves them.

My husband loves potatoes in any form, where mashed potatoes & anything that involves bit of chili are his favorites. I would get that Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes right away & try out a special dish for him!
