What is "healthy"?0

Forget healthy. It's sad.
Peel potatoes. Boil. Drain. Add butter, if desired. Mash with manual (non-electric) potato masher (for the workout ). Add milk/yogurt/sour cream/what-you-will, salt, pepper, chives, garlic, as desired. Eat. Savor how much better this is than reconstituted dried potato flakes.0 -
It's not healthy or unhealthy. It's kinda gross though. Homemade mashed taters are so good.0

Sad is a good way to put it. Making proper mashed potatoes is so easy.
I much prefer the texture of "hand-mashed" potatoes over machine whipped. I like getting the occasional small lump. Means someone made this by hand!
I would suggest adding a little Creme Fraiche if you happen to have access to some. Decadent.

They're good as binding for tuna patties?0

Wait, are you eating them straight out of the box or asking if eating them in general (after you've prepared them) is good?0

I'm pretty sure it's not natural. I prefer baked potatoes0

Unhealthy...meh maybe, maybe not. But definitely weird.0 -

Wow, I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm imagining dry, then kind of glue-like as your saliva goes to work.0 -

I like boxed mash potatoes just fine...but prepared. I'd probably end up like the people that do the cinnamon powder challenge if I tried to eat straight from the box :sick:0 -

I don't understand why certain things have shortcuts. Making real mashed potatoes is so easy, having a shortcut in a box makes no sense.0

only healthy if you eat the box as well0

It's not healthy to eat them out of the box... you gotta prepare them first...0

It's disgusting. Boxed potatoes are gross. Just eat actual potatoes that taste good.0
