When I was first preggers, I could have probably eaten those instant mashed potatoes they have at KFC for all of my meals. In fact, my favorite meal was from the combo KFC/Taco Bell we have near us. I would get the mashed potatoes with gravy and a bean burrito from Taco Bell. They must have thought I was insane. It is disgusting to think about now but I probably ate that at least twice a week if not more.
Lana, they are these little potato flakes. I guess at one time they were real, but in the box they are dried and flaky; almost like fish food. And you heat up some water, milk (or in my case, soymilk) some margarine or butter, and some salt. After it all comes to a boil you add in the potato buds and voila! Instant Mashed.
I have a very horrifying story involving me, Potato Buds, college, tiny bugs, screaming, and my friend, Erin. Let’s just say, mind the expiration date on those. I didn’t know they even had an expiration date until it was too late.
Ah… I come from the idaho of canada and have never tried boxed ‘taters. Maybe I’ll have to try … as soon as I get the idea that it’s fish food out of my head…
Well, considering I’m a big pig and I worked out really, really hard this morning, I not only had 4 servings of extraordinarily healthy Potato Buds, but I had a veggie burger as well. And on that veggie burger was indeed some Dijon Tard.
Try making the buds with root beer…mmmm mmmm good eatin’!
What are potato buds? Kids these days with their moon rocks and music.

Yes, I am sorry for that analogy. It so doesn’t take like fish food. Promise.
Please note: Today I upped my lunchtime ration to 3/4 servings.
I bet you used Dijon too!
