You know... there are a few wildlife sightings I've always wanted to have when skiing... a moose at Jackson Hole... the goats at A-Basin... and especially, I've wanted to see the kangaroos bounding through the snow at St. Anton, the powder flying off their tails...
When we where in Austria visiting family a few years back they had post cards that said something like,

This is Austria we don’t have Kangaroos!

Not to be a killjoy, but I think the point is that no dairy product was used in preparing the mashed potatoes.
I think that's right... but wierd that they use "plant-based" rather than "vegan". "plants-only" would be more accurate than "plant-based".

My father always shook his head at food labeled organic. Hell, all food is organic except water and, of course, minerals.
I might try meat-based mashed potatoes, organic or not!

If they used a corn oil margarine and not butter it still would be all plant based.

Some Googling show that that is what they do, and those are vegan potatoes... my comment was only to point out that "plant-based" could mean they start with plants and add other things that aren't plants. "Vegan" would be more explicit.
