Are Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes healthy

1. They're surprisingly healthy.

According to Consumer Reports, store-bought mashed scored "good" in the nutrition category based on calories, fat, saturated fat, sodium, sugars, iron, calcium, and fiber—with most products prepared with 2 percent milk, unsalted butter, and salt. The calories ranged from 80 to 180 per serving, while fat content averaged around 6 grams per serving and sodium content ranged from 35 mg per serving to 470 mg.

2. Bob Evans is one of the best.

They're so deliciously buttery and garlicky that we chose them as our top pick for store-bought mashed that are Thanksgiving grade.

3. If you want to make your own to freeze, read up first.

Cream and butter are the key to making potatoes freeze well. But you should also pre-portion them so you don't end up with a giant hunk of spuds to defrost.

4. The best way to heat them is on the stovetop.

Put the spuds in a sauce pan over medium heat and stir until hot all the way through. You can also opt for the oven (350 degrees F for 30 minutes) or slow cooker (set to low for 2 to 4 hours) methods but we'd advise against the microwave, which will dry them out.

5. You can upgrade them with cheese.

Seriously all you need is pre-shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and dried parsley to make any batch of store-bought potatoes taste like you spent hours on them.

6. Or you can dress them up with chicken stock.

Add a dash of flavor-boosting chicken broth to your spuds—plus a little baking soda to make them fluffier—and no one will know they aren't homemade.
