I wouldn't worry about the potatoes either. No doubt they are instant
but I actually kind of like instant potatoes for a change. I use real
potatoes 95% of the time but the instant are ok to me too. Different
taste but not horrible. It's somewhat like the difference between fresh
tuna and canned tuna. Different but both are good.

Having a box of instant is also a good backup for fixing real mashed
potatoes. Occasionally, I'll add in a bit too much milk and the real
mashed are a bit too runny. Just toss in a handful of instant flakes for
an instant fix.
