Instant mashed potato made up with whole milk is dehydrated potato rehydrated with boiling whole milk, adding fat, protein, calcium, and vitamins A, D, and B12 compared to the water-only version. It is a more nutritionally complete preparation providing around 80–100 kcal/100g. Whole milk adds creaminess and improves palatability while contributing useful dairy nutrition.
Using warm (not boiling) milk produces a smoother, creamier result without making the mash gluey. Season well and serve immediately — instant mash made with milk thickens quickly on standing.

Glycemic Index & Load
High GI food — causes a rapid rise in blood sugar. Best eaten in small portions combined with lower-GI foods, protein, or fat.
Glycemic Load (GL = GI × carbs ÷ 100) accounts for portion size. A moderate GL — portion size matters here.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
