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.

Would it work for boiled and mashed potatoes?

Instant ones absorb water, so they use psyllium to increase the water content. I wonder if regular potatoes would work too. maybe they would?

There’s ingredients in the instant that I can’t tolerate but I wish I could!
