Instant mashed potatoes as filler in meatloaf

[QUOTE=bloodorchid;1082084]what's the difference between potato flour and potato flakes? they're both dehydrated and processed[/QUOTE]

Logic.
;)

There probably isn't much difference - I guess I am just a sucker for anything that says organic, lol. I like the potato flour for the silkiness of the sauce - it is better than regular flour for texture. She may do better with potato flakes to mimic the texture of bread in a meatloaf.

Nor had I. I'd still prefer to buy whole organic potatoes though!
