Wayne, I won't buy any instant mashed potatoes, but DH picked up some mashed
potatoes at Costco about two-three years ago. They were fabulous. Costco
stopped carrying them. I've never seen them since anywhere. I still
remember them. Looking at their site, you can see they care about their
potatoes.

They were the "creamy mash."
No Sulfites or Chemical Preservatives
Only the Natural Taste of Freshly Prepared Potatoes

I hope you run into them sometime. I'm not a potato lover, but they were
very good.
