1/3 cup Milk, 1%
1 or 2 Tbsp Butter, unsalted depending on taste

salt to taste, I add a pinch which is probably between a 1/4 and 1/2 tsp.

Here is how you make Super Simple Gussied Up Instant Potatoes:

Anyone already having instant potato flakes, I will assume can boil water without direction...if not, read the box.I actually didn't boil my water, but instead heated everything over a medium heat until JUST melted. The texture should be thick and creamy. If you don't achieve yummy simplicity, I either underestimated my cream cheese use, or somewhere someone screwed up. Enjoy. I paired mine with Maple Dijon pork chops. 2 parts maple syrup to 1 part Dijon mustard. I'd recommend a splash of whiskey to help glazing.Serving Size: 2 (1/2 c.) servings...so for normal people...one servingNumber of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HN_417.
