Looking for bulk/wholesale mashed potato

Food

I don't think that these would mash very well - tinned spuds tend to have a really odd taste and texture. They also tend to be very heavily salted so you'd need to watch that, if you ate 3 650g portions a day.

Thanks for the head up, fortunately there's no salt in these ones.

I recently discovered canned potatoes. I think, a bit like canned carrots and peas, they taste OK but not like fresh product. So basically (a bit like coffee) it's best not to compare but think of as a different food altogether.

I found the best way to eat them is to slice them up and have saut!ed or put into a frittata.

At less than 39p a kg they're a good, cheap stand by.


Sorry OP, not much use for the mashed potato diet. BTW I still find your food budget high per month for one person. I suppose having meat, veg and mash for breakfast must push the costs up.

Yeah, I actually like them. I've just started eating them as they are and quite enjoyed it. At 39p/kg it's like free food! :T Just what I was looking for.

Pretty sure it doesn't work if you add butter and cheese

Company in Ireland I used to trade with called Mash Direct, they did a 2.5 kg catering pack but that was all fresh, maybe worth dropping them a e mail see if they sell to public and also if try do frozen.

If OP lived in Singapore s/he could nip into a 7-11 and get Maggi mashed potato and gravy from a vending machine.

Nice, thanks


Yes, if you were wondering... I eat three meals each day consisting of 650g mash + portion of mixed vegetables + portion of meat. With milk and fruit between meals. I've been eating like this the past 6 months and have never been better health-wise. It took a few years to find a diet that worked for me.

Edit: Found canned pre-peeled potatoes at asda @ 14p per can (350-400g per can). For 58kg it comes to £25.20 per month!

Managed to get my monthly food bill to £132.30 down from £378.25 just by changing brands & types.

Was the £378 per month just for you, ie 1 person?

I'm amazed anyone would eat 2kg of frozen potato a day let alone the same meal 3 times a day every day of the month.
