How to use instant mash in dishes

Instant mashed potatoes might be more versatile than you think. They have potential well beyond a traditional, standalone side dish. They provide quick, consistent, and smooth potatoes that can be used in a shepherd’s pie. They are also the perfect filling for pierogi.

Instant mash (still in powdered form) can be added to recipes for an extra touch like a breaded coating for fish, meat, and even onion rings. Being able to control how much water you put into it means you can get the perfect texture for a quick, smooth gnocchi without it being too wet or too dry. Potato casseroles and cakes are another way you can use instant mash in your dishes.

Tips on creating mash-based dishes in bulk

When you offer and serve potatoes, it is a good idea to make them in large batches. It isn’t any more complicated to make bulk mashed potato than individual servings, and it will save you plenty of time in the long run. You can boil the potatoes all at once, and then how (and when) you season them can depend on the menu. If you have mashed potatoes accompanying different mains, then you might want to season separately or divide into smaller batches to season after cooking. If you wait until you’re ready to serve the main before adding in the cream and butter, then it will ensure everything is smooth and fresh when it goes out to the table.  

For easy bulk cooking, instant potatoes can simplify the process even more. Consider using them at your next event with a buffet as they are bain-marie suitable for up to two hours. If you’re making individual shepherd’s pie, put the potatoes in a piping bag and create a uniform look for each dish. One last tip is warming up your butter and cream/milk before adding it to the potatoes so it’s easy to blend everything together and they don’t make your potatoes cold before serving.
