Fast Mashed Potatoes for Sunday Dinner Any Night

If you’re on the lookout for fast mashed potatoes that taste delicious, we’ve got you covered. Mashed potatoes tend to be a food that is reserved for holidays or weekends. Making mashed potatoes from scratch is a lot of work and requires a lot more time than most of us have on weeknights. I’ve partnered with Idahoan on this sponsored post and all opinions stated are my own.

Mike’s ultimate favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. You know, the meal that most people make on holidays? Yeah, he requests it weekly. I am not the wife that’s in the kitchen all day. I thought once I worked from home full-time, I’d have more time for dinners. Nope. If anything, I work more hours now and have less time for making dinner. Thankfully, there are shortcuts to make everyone happy.

I found where to buy half turkey breasts that are ready in under two hours. I can whip one in the oven easily. Once it’s almost ready, I make Idahoan Signature Russets mashed potatoes. They take five minutes and only require milk and butter. Or, even just water.

Now, if you’ve had packaged mashed potatoes before and haven’t liked them, hear me out. I didn’t tell Mike I was using Idahoan Signature Russets, so I got his honest reaction. At first bite, he asked if I used different mashed potatoes. To which I replied, “why?” He said, “Because they are fricken awesome. These are the best.” That’s quite a thumbs up from my stoic hubby.

It looks so good and easy! I generally avoid making mash potatoes on a week night because it's so time consuming!
