HELP FAST!!!! instant potato flakes....

[suziquzie]

Yes they may not be veggies, and I will take the ribbing for even using them LATER!

I've been looking for the instructions on the box of hungry jack potatoes for a half an hour on thier website..... they ARE NOT THERE!!!

Does anyone have a box (I wont tell if you do) that can tell me what it says for flakes/ water / milk/ butter/salt for 4 or 6 servings?

I got a ton of flakes free from work so I'm using them.

I COULDA MADE REAL POTATOES BY NOW!!!!!!!

Hey - don't EVER feel like using instant potatoes is something substandard. They're POTATOES!!!! Plain & simple.

I make them all the time. In fact, if given the choice, my husband prefers them. He grew up with them & simply likes them. I don't see anything wrong with them whatsoever. They're just dehydrated flaked potatoes. Period.

my Pap taught me to just throw water/milk/butter/seasonings into a pot toboiling, then pour/stir till you've got mashed taters. don't overstir to keep 'em fluffy.

SQ - I have Idahoian. They are most likely the same.

for the two of us:
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1 pat butter
1 pinch salt
Sprinkle on some Garlic powder
Sprinkle in some dried basil.
maybe a turn or 2 of pepper
1 1/4 cups of flakes.

Heat everything but the flakes till just before thye boil.
Stir in the flakes, remove from heat let set a few - enjoy

Obviously, you probably need to double for yoru family.

You can also use the flakes as a coating for fried foods, like chicken, or pork chops. Just dip the base food into egg wash, then dredge in flour, again in the egg wash, and then into the potato flakes. You can add seasonings to the flour and the potato flakes if you want.

Another thing to try is to make a somewhat soupy casserole of meat and veggies of your choice, sprinkle potato flakes on top to absorb excess moisture, and bake. Top with butter or cheese when done.

You can even put potato flakes on top of tomato sauce dishes with great success. And don't forget potato pancakes.

Hope this gives you some more options.

I've actually seen them used more than once on the food network, so if its ok for them why not everyone else!

Use potato flakes to thicken up a fresh corn and chicken broth base soup, Corn Chowder, SO good. (throw a little sausage in there, onion cooked in a little oil, other veggies if you have them)
