So we all had to learn to cook without it. When I make instant potatoes and I know she is going to eat, I add the same amount of water that was needed for the milk, then I add anywhere from a half a stick to a whole stick of margarine, she can only have the type made with corn oil, I season it with salt,pepper and garlic. It tastes just as good as instant potatoes can, you'd never know there wasn't any milk. We also use to make biscuits with water too until I learned how to make it with mayo/salad dressing (the white stuff) I still add water just not as much and the flavor is out of this world. I don't have a recipe its one of those things you do by touch. I hope this helps.

Flavoring can be added to them when cooking. Each of these can be added singly or together. instant onions (my favorite), garlic, parsley, chives, or bullion. On the side or on top, butter, gravy, sour cream, parsley, or cheese.Instant potatoes taste terrible without salt.

Just use half milk and half water. Also we like sour cream, it can be used with or without milk.

We used to make the instant potatoes they sell there using only water; no milk. Sometimes we would put in a little ranch dressing for a different taste. Oh, so good. Even without the milk or ranch dressing they are still good.

If its too thick add hot water while stiring. Eating with gravy helps too. My kids prefer without gravy.. in this case top with margarine on the plates. You gotta do what you gotta do. Instant potatoes is one of the few things I use salt in. But they just taste better with it.

You can use chicken broth in place of milk, very tasty and much less fat and calories.

(EX: 1/2 cup evap + 1/2 cup water = 1 cup 'milk) Report Spam or Abuse
