Potato flakes

Dehydrated instant flaked potatoes are uncooked potatoes with most of the water removed.

Storage

Store potatoes at room temperature. After opening, store in airtight container in the refrigerator.

Uses & Tips

For a special touch, stir in any of these ingredients after cooking: grated Parmesan cheese; shredded Cheddar cheese; or corn.

For added convenience, cook potatoes the day before and refrigerate in a closed container overnight. Use within 3 days.

For a Tex-Mex flair, top mashed potatoes with a spoonful of zesty salsa.

Cooking

In medium saucepan bring 2 cups water and 3 tablespoons margarine or butter to a rolling boil. Remove from heat. Stir in ¾ cup milk and 2 cups potato flakes with fork until potatoes are of desired consistency. (Makes six ½-cup servings.)
