What is with the instant potatoes? Do real cooks really use that stuff? I don’t and won’t. Do you have a substitute suggestion? Thanks

I wouldn’t use instant potatoes if I were going to have mashed potatoes, but in some dishes it works well as a binder. The bread I make uses instant mashed potatoes in the dough.
