Can I Make Smashed Potato Soup with Real Potatoes Instead of Refrigerated?

[cewcooks]

I want to make this for dinner tonight, I have all the ingredients except refriderated potatoes. Can I use real potatoes and mash them down with all the other ingredients?

I would just make the mashed potatoes from scratch like home - works fine - I have made this with left over mashed potatoes from scratch instead of the store bought kind -

You will want to start with cooked, seasoned, mashed potatoes....but you can use homemade ones - I do!

Of course you can...real food is always preferred over instant, in my opinion!

I think it taste's better with homemade mashed potatoes.
