I will admit, in public, that I sometimes buy potato buds. Yes, those nasty fake mashed potato things. But I would never cook and serve them. Ever.

"Why do you buy them?" you may ask. Simple. Potatos added to bread dough makes it soft and pillowy. When I have leftover mashed potatoes, I often add them to my bread dough, particularly when I'm making dinner rolls. When I don't have real mashed spuds and I want fluffy dinner rolls, those potato buds are perfect. But I cringe at the thought that people might think I serve that stuff as intended.
