[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your Kroger will carry Bob Evans mashed potatoes. They’ll be in a refrigerated case with other prepared heat-and-eat foods, like macaroni and cheese. I’m sure your store carries them year round and you just haven’t shopped that section. In my grocery store, this refrigerated case is not too far from the meat. Just make sure you’re getting the original mashed potatoes. Old Bob has a few tricks up his sleeve and now has mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives and garlic mashed potatoes. There might even be a cheesy one.

Making real mashed potatoes is pretty easy though, with the ricer. Add butter and sour cream, a little milk or half & half if you need to thin them, and salt. You could probably add a tiny bit of pepper without adding a kick, even for those who keep their food bland. You can’t get blander than skinless boiled potatoes. The trick is to remember that potatoes need to be salted more generously than other vegetables.[/quote]

[b]There is a zero percent chance someone who shops at Kroger doesn’t actually know that pre-made mashed potatoes exist and where to find them. OP isn’t actually asking for practical help. She just wants to complain about her backwater ILs and how awful they are[/b].[/quote]

I agree with this.[/quote]

Maybe they don’t eat mash potatoes. I can’t stand mash potatoes so I would not know if a store carried them or not. It is seriously one of the worst sides.[/quote]

NP.  FYI that it is "mashed" potatoes, not "mash" potatoes.  The potatoes are mashed (squished, crushed, squashed).  Just pointing this out so you know in the future and aren't embarrassed by using the wrong word in public.[/quote]
