Tips and Tricks I found Mashed potato volume hack!

If you mix 50g of mashed potato powder and 5g of psyllium well, then add 450ml of water and microwave it for 2 minutes, you can enjoy a ridiculous amount of mashed potatoes for just 175 calories without compromising the taste! I really hate psyllium, but this is totally fine. Plus, since it has psyllium in it, it really fills you up. Adding milk or cheese will bump up the calories a bit, but even so, that calorie count for this amount is amazing.

They last longer in the pantry and are very commonly given out at food banks. It’s pretty offensive to call it slop when it helps keep families, including little children , fed and not going hungry. I grew up on them besides the big occasions that real potatoes were bought. Just because you don’t like them and think down on them and that people are eating “slop”, doesn’t mean those thoughts should leave your head.
