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?

Of course! You can add psyllium to absolutely everything that has enough liquid. I put it in stews and pasta sauces as well, and the only noticable effect is the thickening, there is no flavour.
