                                Instant potato flakes often contain significantly more sodium and fewer naturally occurring nutrients than homemade versions, with some brands including preservatives and high-fat additives. This stark contrast means understanding the nutritional value of smash depends heavily on whether it's made from a box or from fresh potatoes.
