This is a convenient and flavorful side dish made from real Idaho potatoes. The potatoes are mashed and then infused with the savory taste of roasted garlic. It comes in a dehydrated form, ready to be rehydrated with hot water and butter or milk. The roasting process for the garlic brings out a deeper, sweeter flavor than raw garlic, adding a distinct aroma and taste to the creamy mashed potatoes.
