It means that they were dehydrated (water removed),
usually by flash-freezing, then water was re-absorbed,
probably when the other ingredients were re-heated.
You're paying a lot of extra expense for processing,
when using real natural ingredients would be better,
& in the long run faster as well as cheaper.
By that, I'm referring to the total energy invested.

Reconstituted potatoes are instant ones.

Dehydrated potatos that have been reconstituted by adding the proper amount of water to return them to the conistency of mashed potatos.

potatoes that were fresh, then dried. Once they have had water added back, they are "reconstituted." So they buy dry potatoes to make your frozen dinners with.

That's when they dehydrate something (to preserve) and then add liquid back when they're ready to use it. McDonalds used to use reconstituted onions on their burgers back in the day.

It means that they were dried to a powder like instant coffee is. Then when you add hot water and stir it looks and tastes like the mashed potatoes that they were.

Yep, instant is right, they have been dried then re-hydrated to resemble something that almost looks like real mashed potatoes
