I get mine from Amazon. £12 delivered for 12 standard size packs (the Lidl ones are bigger I think).

 

[TinaLes]

Great option for the van, they have gone up in price since I saw a vlogger recommend them.
Which Flavour?, or both of them?
I will await your results, hope its not a disappointment, as they would store so well with little weight in the van apposed to a big bag of spuds, that seem to sprout roots so quickly, even placed in a dark place.

My latest discovery, Porridge Oats with a large spoonful of peanut butter stirred in at the end, then topped off with a blob of Raspberry Jam. Always loved my porridge Oats, but put off putting Peanut Butter on mine until OH said go on, I will try it, so I tried hers and it was very pleasant indeed.

Check the pack size. The Lidl ones are "family packs" so may be bigger than the standard size pack.

The dauphinois version is delicious. First had free samples at the Grand Designs show in Excel, London

Bought both… plain and cheesy

Never seen the Dauphinois variety, maybe overseas only?

Only ever seen these in different UK supermarkets.

 

[Janine]

If you make it but don't eat the whole packet in one go, it freezes well in portions.

One of the funniest hoarding signs I've ever seen was in Idaho, reading " Free potaters for outer stater's".

If you're watching your waistline, or sugar intake, a squirt of the zero sugar fruit flavourings livens up an otherwise dull breakfast.
Loving the "Flahavan's" Jumbo oats,so much more constitution to them.

I've never before tried packet mash but I've just put in the m/h one Cheddar and one Buttery that I bought on Tuesday in Tesco after the recommendation on here as I'm going away to a classic m/bike rally in Kent shortly. It's intended as simple comfort food - bangers, mash, beans - as it's bound to be chilly and wet.

When it says 'family size' how much roughly would a packet make? I doubt it would feed my family, but would it be enough for 2?

Aye you'll be alright as it'll feed Jo and Jo!

We find that the standard size of Mr Mash is more than sufficient for 4 adults so when we open a packet we only mix up half (I measure it in identical bowls or weigh it) and put the unused half back in the packet and seal it, it lasts for years that way.

Alternatively make it into potato cakes and do a fry up ...

Beans, and windy.

 

[jockaneezer]

Horses for courses I suppose, but I don't see it as much of a hardship to carry, peel, boil then mash a spud, especially as 26% of the packet stuff isn't even tattie ?

 

[Minxy]

Asda do their own which is 96% potato and the same size approx as the Idaho family pack.

Come on guys 'n girls, just coz you're in a van does not mean you need to sacrifice culinary excellence. I'm ashamed of all of you

We've used Asda's before, cheese and onion, really nice, and I think only about 50-60p a packet!

Who says we're sacrificing ... It's better than we have at home!

 

[Roger S]

we used to have Smash when we were kids, ive managed to stay away from it as an adult !

Then you (or whoever is responsible) obviously have no idea on gastronomy.

Yes, that stuff was like wallpaper paste!
