Mishmash Bracket Night

Mashed

In addition to being the clearly more delicious option, there is also a more accessible version of said option for those who do not have the time to make mashed potatoes from scratch. Thus instant mashed potatoes, although a fair to middling imitation of its namesake, mean that everyone can enjoy lovely, garlicky, buttery mashed potatoes even if they are very busy or are unable to lift a masher!

There is not an instant version of boiled potatoes. Also they are gross.

btw haschel, thank you for not straight up classifying gnocchi as a dumpling. I really hate when people say it’s a dumpling because I have a very strict definition of what is classified as a dumpling (a la the “what is a sandwich” argument, but for dumplings. I am a dumpling purist).
