    I did this in a panic about 10 years ago. I was supposed to bring the mashed potatoes over for Thanksgiving and completely forgot. All of the stores were closed and I had to leave in 20 minutes. I looked in my pantry and saw the 4 Costco bags of Classic Lays I bought a week earlier and the gears started turning. I put them into a food processor and turned the chips into powder, added Half & Half and Butter, made mashed potatoes; then when I got there, I shoved them into the oven and baked them, the butter then melted and baked into the potatoes. Everyone loved them.

    Knowing that pringles have that starch in it and are like barely potatos it makes sense why it doesn’t work. What I’d totally do with this info is use any stale potato chips like ruffles where the bags been open for too long and its no longer crisp and just add it in part way through cooking normal mashed potatos.

    When I saw this, I instantly knew you'd have a better chance with the Lays since those are actual chips instead of Pringles which are machine produced and really don't taste as good as Lays IMO. But I wonder if other chip brands would make a better mash, I mean there are a few out there, Gotta say the idea of mashed potatoes with vinegar flavor sounds tempting.

    Pringles actually contain a considerable proportion of wheat. the chip industry actually campaigned to block Pringles from labelling themselves as "potato chips" based on this, and they succeeded. that's why they're "crisps"
    edit: this comment originally said "chips" instead of "potato chips" and has been updated for accuracy, at the suggestion of several commenters. after their Indiana launch in 1968, and following rapid growth, the snack industry attempted to fight back by claiming they couldn't be marketed as "potato chips" because they aren't sliced from potatoes. this culminated in 1975 with the FDA weighing in with agreement, resulting in the branding change. according to some sources, the FDA would've allowed the "potato chips" branding if the branding also called out that they were made with dried potatoes, and Proctor & Gamble (the owning company) declined and chose to change the branding to "crisps"

      That's actually not true. It was the company who makes pringles themselves that petitioned the British government to get them not labled as chips to avoid a junk food tax. A lower court ruled in their favor but later that year a higher court reversed this decision and relabeled them as potato chips.

    It actually makes perfect sense that the Lays chips are the best, because they are almost all potato (plus oil and salt). Instead of mostly starch and binder.

    Ideas if you decide to revisit this theory:

    3. Add some milk and spices maybe even some butter like you would in home mash potatoes

      That might help with the Lays and other kinds, but none of that resolves the Pringles issue of having so much corn starch and other starches and so little potato. The best you could manage there would be to hide the texture with various other ingredients, the flavour too (thus why the cheese ones sort of worked better). There may be other kinds of chips that work even better than Lays though, which could make for a good follow up

I discovered you can make really smooth potatoes like those flaky potatoes out of real potato's if you whip them in a mixer. Cook the potato like normal after cutting and skinning them and than throw them in the mixer with some butter, sour cream and milk. It is way better than the bagged potato and its the same consistency depending on how long you whip it. It's the consistency for me with mashed potato that make me like the bagged stuff more. It is a lot of work but let me tell you it is worth it.

    Talking about being at Disneyland during a chip thing is actually pretty fitting, considering another chip, Doritos, was invented at Disneyland. To be more specific it originated from Disneyland's trash.
    The story goes that shortly after the park opened in 1955, Walt gave Frito-Lay permission to open an "authentic" Mexican restaurant called Casa de Fritos. As the name suggests, it was all about Fritos. They contracted their tortilla production to a group called Alex Foods. One day, one of their salesmen noticed stale tortillas in the trash. He came up with an idea, convincing the chef to fry them and sell them as chips so they wouldn't go to waste. A genius idea that is now an iconic brand.
