I've eaten instant/flaked potatoes for years, but never gave too much thought to the taste - they're instant so how good could the possibly be?! After reading your first post regarding the potatoes, I oven roasted a ribeye and served it with instant potatoes. I thought I'd prepared the potatoes way too soon - right after putting the steak in the oven - but decided that it'd be fine as mashed spuds reheat quite well. Turns out time is key. Allowing them to set - to fully absorb the water - brought out a most delicious flavor. Are they as good as the butter and cream I whip in my stand mixer? No, but they are a perfectly suitable quick fix! Thanks! :)
