Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes Review/Giveaway – MyBlogSpark


Everyone loves mashed potatoes, right? Well, everyone in our family does. My husband is usually the cook and he always makes his mashed potatoes from scratch. Never makes anything different. So when asked to try out the Betty Crocker instant potatoes, I figured this will truly be a test!

It’s not always convenient to make potatoes from scratch. Betty Crocker’s Boxed Instant mashed Potatoes are easy to prepare and are made with 100% real potatoes. It only takes eight minutes. Each box comes with 2 pouches and there’s more than just one variety. The Homestyle Creamy Butter, Au Gratin flavor and the Roasted Garlic .


So – what did we think? Savannah loved hers – can you tell? My mom, Hunter and I thought they were good. But they did not win over my husband. But he’s hard to win over. He’s the cook.

Anyways, my mother always used to use these when living on her own. It’s much easier to make this than cook them up from scratch. They weren’t bad tasting either, I would eat them again – maybe when my husband’s not there. 🙂

Would you like to try them out for yourselves? Betty Crocker and MyBlogSpark would like to give one Mommy Has to Work reader a prize pack! The pack includes two boxes of Betty Crocker Boxed Instant Mashed Potatoes (one Roasted Garlic and one Homestyle Creamy Butter), a serving bowl, a trivet and a serving spoon. By the way – I LOVE the bowl.

To enter tell me which your family prefers or which flavor you’re looking forward to trying.
