RE: Better Tasting Instant Mashed Potatoes
I make instant potatoes often. I have used evaporated milk. It gives them a richer flavor. Also you can add sour creme, or miracle whip or ranch dressing.. use your imagination. I found that over stirring is one thing that reduces the flavor,and makes them gummy. If their too thin add more flakes.. to thick add more water.. or more sour creme/salad dressing etc. Just dont over stir, I also add the sour creme or dressings to real potatoes.. when I relized my family couldnt tell the real from the instant I stopped making the real one cause I detest peeling potatoes. I tell my hubby if you want real then peel them.. hes like.. *Iinstant is fine! lol One more thing.. my mom ALWAYS made Potato Salad from mashed potatoes (real,a southern recipe) So I automatically make it from INSTANT potatoes... NO-ONE but my hubby knows its instant potatoes.. I even send it to his potluck dinners at work.. they love it!! Try it!

The way my family makes instant mashed potatoes is by boiling water and add what they call McCormick's Natures' Seasons, 1/2 stick of butter, and a bullion cube. Sometimes the leftover chicken "grease" that is seasoned from the chicken you cooked as your main dish is really good stirred into the potatoes.

Use canned evaporated milk. Grate a clove of fresh garlic into your boiling water. Yummy potatoes.

Use canned evaporated milk instead of whole or 2% milk. Grate a fresh clove of garlic into your boiling water also. This makes instant potatoes delicious.

I find that adding Sazon Goya packets to Instant mashed potatoes is delicious. Then top them with shredded cheese. Yum.

When we make a big batch of Ramen Noodles, we don't use all the flavor packets, as usually one packet for every two packages of noodles adds enough flavor. We end up having extra packets and we add these to our instant mashed potatoes (among other foods).
