I like them, but don't be afraid to add more milk, butter, or salt than is
recommended on the package directions.

I'm not sure they've "come a long way" but it always made sense to add
more milk and butter to make them a bit more smooth. And oh, to maybe
use a small whisk rather than just a fork to flake them.

Mostly the only thing I ever use instant mashed potato flakes for is as
a thickener for soup which is a little too brothy/thin.

More milk, butter and salt are usually yummy! :-)

Let us know how they are.

Mashed is probably my least-favorite way to have potatoes, though.
I can't remember the last time I bothered to cook them that way.

Yes, how does a sociopathic pervert cook his mashed potatoes. Good

Which BRAND though. Some are still shitty. I bought Idahoan
because they were out of Hungry Jack last time I shopped for them.
And I spit on Idahoan <ptooey>.

Speaking of potato products, I do like those "Mini Tater Tots." They
have a higher ratio of crispy outer to the soft insides.

I had a roasted sweet potato the other day. My understanding is that they sell these on carts in Japan. This one was sold in a cart in a store. Ha ha, that's so weird. It's roasted in a way that causes the potato to get all sugary. Beats me what the process is. The result is a very sweet potato that's covered with caramelized sugar. It's pretty wonderful stuff.

You can buy them from street venders all over NYC. They have push
carts with a coal stove and a pile of sweet potatoes... there they are
called "baked". They are sold during the cold months and are kept in
pockets as hand warmers. A very large baked sweet potato used to cost
a nickle. That's part of our Thanksgiving dinner, baked in our gas
oven on a foil lined sheet pan, without the foil it'd be near
impossible to clean the burnt sugar off the sheet pan. Baked in their
jackets is the only way we eat sweet potatoes. and only once a year on
Thanksgiving.
Different street venders sell roasted chestnuts. I never saw a street
vender selling both chestnuts and sweet potatoes... must be in the
street vender union contract... also only male venders sold sweet
potatoes, only female venders sold chestnuts. There are organ
grinders too, usually old Italian guys puffing guinea stinkers while
cranking out opera tunes, they'd have a dwarf Texass monkey
collecting pennies in a greasy cap.

Parodi and DiNapoli are small machine cigars, still available as of a
couple of years ago. They were often called guinea stinkers and had a
reputation of being very strong- tho I thought they were more on
the mild side back when I did smoke them.

Process is dead simple stuff.

STOVE TOP
Wash, wrap in foil (or leave naked) and place on a cast iron skillet
(affiliate link) covered
Cook on low heat for 60 minutes, turning them every 20 minutes
Turn heat off when you can pierce them with a chopstick and then let it
rest for 10 minutes before eating
Produces a super creamy cake-like texture much like baking it at 325 F
