AWW, what a nice mommy! Mamma would no more have condoned those "artificial potatoes" (yes, really) than she would have allowed Hungry Guy Potato Flakes (nor any other brand, tbf) in her house. ~SIGH~My parents were all-organic, all the time. Booooorring! (ETA: We WERE allowed pancake mix sometimes. And Jello., OY. IDK WTF it was about Mennonite housewives and Jello -- but they LOVED that stuff! )

My mother always fed us healthy meals, but she worked full time as a nurse on the night shift and slept while we were at school, so any product we loved that saved a bit of time or effort was welcome. She did a lot of cooking in a pressure cooker., which saves hours of time.

Jello was HUGE in the 60's when I was a kid. There was also a product called Jello 1-2-3 which separated into 3 layers, and we LOVED that.
