A Tasty Comparison: Bob Evans vs Fresh Mashed Potatoes Tested... Surprising Game Changer! We recently decided to pit Bob Evans’ Original Mashed Potatoes against freshly made ones to see which took the crown. Unveiling a satisfyingly creamy texture and a subtle, balanced flavor, the 24 oz tub delivered a delightful surprise. Unlike our homemade version, Bob Evans offered a consistent quality without the commitment of boiling, peeling, or mashing—saving us considerable time. While purists might prefer fresh, we found our fridge stocked with a reliable standby. The convenience maintains its appeal, especially when we’re short on prep time. Was it a game changer? Perhaps not for gourmet enthusiasts, but for those who value efficiency without sacrificing taste, Bob Evans remains a compelling choice.
