instant mash
Just add water
Instant mash is dehydrated potato flakes or granules that reconstitute into mashed potatoes when mixed with hot water or milk.
It trades the texture and flavor of fresh mashed potatoes for convenience: I keep instant mash in the pantry for busy nights.
The term is more common in British English; Americans often say instant mashed potatoes.
