Reviews
My husband was nostalgic for Deb that his mother occasionally made in the 1960s. Looking at current day Deb ingredients, it was a big "no way" from me. I search around and found Lasting Harvest potato flakes. They're almost 99% potato and it makes a great mash. I did need to tweak the rehydration instructions to get mash the way we like it (less water, more milk). They will be a definitely be pantry staple in our house from now on.
