These really didn't do anything for us. I don't know, maybe i was expected too much out of mashed potatoes, but I found them sort of salty and blah and not terribly exciting for the prep work involved. They might be nice as a breakfast addition (ie. like fried potatoes) but for a dinner or appy, didn't rock my socks off.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
