Could you use "Potatoe Pearls" ... dehydrated potatoes instead of instant mashed potatoes. Are they the same things?

I would think so. I use Betty Crocker's Potato Buds and they're just:
Potatoes
Mono and Diglycerides (to improve texture)
Sodium Bisulfate and BHT (preservatives)

Ick. I shouldn't read labels once I've bought something.

I've also always thought that I could probably use actual mashed potatoes. I'd just need to work out how much liquid to take out of the recipe based on how much liquid I use in making the mashed potatoes. But Potato Buds/Pearls are much easier. Unless I have leftover mashed. Hmm.

(I didn't realize until I did a Google search that there are actual pearls called "potato pearls": web page. Pretty cool. )
