  • Nostalgic

    4 out of 5

    My Mum would bring Deb potato mash with us when we went camping. I therefore have a strong nostalgic connection to it, I find it to be a good comfort food when I really can’t be bothered. IT’s not really like proper mashed potatoes, but as far as convenience it does the job. Personally I like the taste :)


  • Bland and nothing like the real thing

    1.5 out of 5

    I have yet to find an instant mash that doesn’t come out disappointing and bland. unfortunately this deb instant is now deception. You really can’t substitute for real potatoes.


  • Great on shepherds pie

    3.5 out of 5

    This instant mashed potato is tastes fantastic on shepherds pie. It’s super easy to make and is creamy and filling. It tastes just like normal mashed potato however is easier.


  • Beyond easy and decent taste

    4 out of 5

    Many people say “Why don’t you just make your own mashed potato?!” – Deb instant mash is ready in 2 minutes and with 2% the effort required to make ‘real’ mashed potato.

    Would I serve it for my family at a function? No. Would I use it after a very long day to keep the kids happy? ABSOLUTELY!.


  • Quick

    3.5 out of 5

    I like how quick this product is. The flavour is nice, and really compliments any meat. I add herbs and cheese and veggies to the product.


  • Easy but not a fan

    2.5 out of 5

    This is an easy alternative to making your own mashed potatoes but you lose the nutritional value and freshness, and it just doesn’t taste authentic.


  • So quick and easy

    5 out of 5

    I love Deb mash as it’s so quick and easy.
    All you have to do is add boiling water and you’re done. No need to peel and boil potatoes for ages.
    To make it creamy, I just add a splash of milk and tablespoon of butter and no one can tell the difference.
    Such a great product.


  • Do not like the texture

    2 out of 5

    This product takes me back to my childhood, though not in a good way. No matter how much butter and salt and pepper added, the after-taste is so unpleasant


  • Creamy as....

    4.5 out of 5

    This product is so creamy and with a dollop of butter through it one can’t taste the difference! easy to use and the right consistency however if one likes it smoother just add more water… I have even added a half a packet to stews in the slow cooked to thicken it up. Amazing product!


  • Cutting Corners

    4.5 out of 5

    I make Scottish potato scones and it is so much easier and quicker to use these instant potatoes instead of peeling, boiling and mashing fresh ones. My family cant tell the difference of I use powdered or fresh potatoes.


  • Baking add in

    3 out of 5

    This can be used to thicken soups or casseroles in place of corn flour or flour. Personally don’t like the taste of it made up as mashed potato


  • Why would you?

    1.5 out of 5

    Considering the price of potatoes and the ease of boiling and mashing your own, why would you buy this processed starchy mash that is bland and dry!


  • Useful

    4.5 out of 5

    We have used this when we needed to thicken something up like in a pie mix or a pasta dish that is a little too wet


  • A great mash

    3.5 out of 5

    Continental Instant Mashed Potato Deb Mash is handy to have in the pantry, it’s quick to make and accompanies meals as a side dish perfectly. At an affordable price; it is a good alternative to making mash from scratch if you are short on time and I would gladly re-purchase.


  • Good!

    4 out of 5

    Continental instant mash is brilliant for a quick and easy side dish to your meal,l love it with chops and sausages with lots of gravy poured over the mash! YUM!


  • this is a miss

    1 out of 5

    I liked the texture but what stopped me in my tracks was it was too salty and I just can’t eat this with such a salty taste. Won’t buy again.


  • Strange flavour

    2.5 out of 5

    I had this years ago but the grainy texture was a bit odd and the flavour was a bit odd. I guess I was expecting it to be just like real potato.


  • Deb

    4 out of 5

    Deb has been around for as long as I can remember. Continental Instant Mashed Potato Deb is perfect for when we need a smooth mashed potato in a hurry.


  • good

    4 out of 5

    I use these if I am making salmon patties as they seem to make them a nicer texture. Handy to have in the pantry and a good product.


  • Alternate for mashed potatoes

    3 out of 5

    My Dad has been eating this for years. If made with quality ingredients and made well this can be quite delicious. Add some salt, butter and cream/milk while still hot and this can be really nice. Add nothing but hot water and it may as well go in the bin
