Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups chicken broth
- ½ Cup evaporated milk or half and half
- 3 Tbs butter
- 1 Cup instant mashed potato flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, heat broth, milk and butter to simmering and until the butter is melted.
- While the liquid ingredients are heating, in a medium sized bowl, mix the potato flakes, garlic powder and onion powder together well.
- When liquids are simmering and butter is melted, pour over the top of the potato mixture and mix well. Allow to sit for 5 minutes until the potatoes are thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
- SUBSTITUTIONS
- Chicken Broth - any kind of broth or stock is fine.
- Butter - Butter substitute works well.
- Spices - Feel free to try different spices like chives, Old Bay, Tony Cacheries, etc.
- Evaporated Milk - Milk substitute or half and half.
- You'll want to melt the butter in the broth before adding to the potatoes for easy and fast melting.
- Add the seasoning to the dry ingredients for perfect blend of seasoning.
- Let everything sit for about 5 minutes to give the potatoes time to rehydrate.
- Taste for salt before serving. Add more if needed.
- If you are using already flavored potatoes (like the sour cream and chive variety) then you may want to adjust the garlic and onion powders down some.
