Mine is instant, although I did try the Algrautin Potatoes and relly liked them!

Hello Patty! I like to make the mashed potatoes. I make them nice and creamy by using a hand held mixer. Then I chop chives very, very small and add to mixture. Add shredded, mild cheddar cheese. Add a generous amount, this will hold the mixture together for baking. With a large cooking spoon or soup laddle, spoon onto lightly greased baking pan with sides. Make a dent in the middle of each potato serving and place a large pat of cold butter, sprinkle cheese over to cover butter. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 10-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and potato is a lightly colored browned color. Do not overcook as you only want the outside to be a little hard and the cheese melted. Inside should be remain creamy. Its almost like a twice baked potato but with mashed potatoes. Also, you need to check on potatoes often to prevent over cooking. Sorry, I can't give measurements but I make this on instinct. I know how I want it to turn out. *Hint: These potatoes taste great with any red meat.

my favorites are the scalloped potatos with ham and the augraton because they can be used as a substiute for the scalloped potatos and ham. I also like them with porkchops. stargaizer

I have two favorites, roast garlic mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes. They are both so good! I use the roast garlic (or any flavor) to thicken a creamy soup that needs a little more substance. I also like to make a chicken bowl similar to the one at KFC.

Well I am disappointed to say that I haven't tried them yet. I bought a box of the au gratin potatoes for dinner tonight. I was going to try the Sausage and Potatoes Italiano recipe which I found on this website. While I was just putting it together and read the ingredients on the back. I was SHOCKED to read that Betty Crocker puts MSG (monosodium glutamate) in their food. I am highly allergic to MSG and therefore will not be making this box of potatoes. I will use my own scalloped potato recipe and add the sausages to it.[:(]

I like the garlic potatoes. I add a little bit of cream in mine to make them extra thick and yummy!
