Now, it actually tastes like food!
Anyone else do this?
If not, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Miracle Whip with Potatoes? You a a sick person ** MrSarcasticus **. Just sick.
Good gad, no. I don’t allow it in the house.
I usually add onion powder that you are supposed to make soup with.
Never, it’s just plain wrong. Miracle Whip is for salads and sandwiches, Potato Buds need nothing added to be the perfect food!
I know this kinda defeats the whole idea of “instant”, but what I do is: sautee some chopped garlic and mix it into the prepared instant mashed potatoes, then fold in some sour cream and chopped parsley, and whip with a hand mixer until smooth.
For the first time in 5 years, we actually have Potato Buds and Miracle Whip in the house. I dare not try the recipe, though.
Miracle Whip is too wrong for words. If folks want to mess up their sandwiches that way, okay that’s personal I guess. Hiding it in foods like slaws and salads that others share, that’s just evil.
Sour cream’s a tastier alternative but I haven’t used instant in years, since I learned to make mashed potatoes in microwave cookware. Takes just a few moments to peel them and hunk them up (granted, small family here, YMMV) but the taste is worlds better! Any cookware specifically made for the nuker will suffice, just make sure there’s ventage of some kind or you’ll blow things to smithereens. Approx. 1 minute per large (cut into about 8ths) potatoe and no water, they’ll exude enough natural juices to keep everything moist and you’ll not pour nutrients down the sink drain. Wonderful for not heating the kitchen up in the hot weather, too.
Ugh. Miracle Whip is Pure Unadulterated Evil[sup]TM[/sup].
It will never be allowed in my house. I’d rather find one of Carrottop’s nether-hairs in my cheesecake.
wasn’t there a thread that said Miracle Whip: Neither Whipped Nor Miraculous?
EEEWWWWW!!!
I’m certain Ellis Peters would agree.
Why go to all of that trouble when Bob Evans makes **real[\b] mashed potatoes that can be popped in the microwave? I usually find them in the butcher shop area of my local Kroger. Food of the Gods and oh, so easy.
You’ve all got to be kidding me. Instant mash? Ready made mash?
Buy a pack of baking pototoes. Hell, any pototoes really.
Chuck them in microwave in microwave safe container, for 10 minutes on full heat. Test them with fork - if they’re too hard, chuck them back in for 3 mins. Repeat until they’re soft.
Chuck unpeeled pototoes into a ricer, such as this one , and press through. The skins will be collected inside the ricer, leaving you with mashed potatoes.
No work. No peeling. Ten - 15 minutes preparation. No-one can be that lazy.
Nobody else thinks microwaved potatoes taste…strange?
Sort of green.

:eek: Thanks Skerri my computer needed cleaned anyhow…I have just experanced the often heard of but concidered a tall tail, SPIT TAKE…anyone know how to get tomato juice out of between the keys? And the image of Carrottop’s “nether-hairs” out of my head?:dubious:
I think I am going to be ill by this thread title.
Miracle Whip? Who, with a brain, actually eats that stuff?
Barf-o-rama dude, to include it in your mashed potatoes? Holy Cow, I think I am gonna hurl.
Miracle Whip, heck, you can’t eat it, you can’t spackle with it, what is it good for?
< blech >
What is Miracle Whip? I don’t think you can get it here in the UK.
I certainly don’t consider myself lazy! I have a 60 mile commute to work. I work from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Same 60 mile commute home. Then I cook dinner EVERY evening for my family of four. Last night I mowed my lawn after dinner. No, I’m not lazy thankyewverymuch.
I actually like instant mashed potatoes. I like real mashed potatoes better, but as long as I think of instant as a totally different food, they work fine.
