Mashed potato powder greatly facilitates the work of the cook. Instead of peeling the potatoes, cutting, boiling and then mashing them to turn them into paste, the cooks directly mix the powder with hot water or hot milk and get instantaneous results.
According to some experts, however, semi-manufactured potato foods in powder form are not very good for the body as they contain a lot of salt and flavor additives.
Mashed potato powder is very convenient, since it saves time and in addition to that, it can be used not only for the preparation of mashed potatoes, but also for making a potato soup.
Cream soup made from mashed potato powder does not taste the same way that a soup from real potatoes does.
But some manufacturers of potato powder achieve good results in this regard and the taste of mashed potato powder is almost the same as the homemade one from real potatoes.
Quality mashed potato powder, when mixed with hot water or fresh milk becomes smooth and is very tasty and filling.
Mashed potato powder can be used as a side dish, but may also be used for the preparation of different types of dishes.
