Fixing Runny Mashed Potatoes

November 9, 2006

Mashed potatoes with melting butter on top.If your mashed potatoes are too soupy, put them over medium/low heat with the top off and let them cook for about 10 minutes. Stir potatoes often so the bottom doesn't burn.

Keeeep cooking it until all the excess water evaporates. I do this with potatoes and cream of wheat :)

Husband whipped up 5 lbs. of taters while I added 1 stick or 1/2 cup of butter resulting in yummy runny mashed potatoes.

Our question is how to stiffen them back up?

I would try adding some instant potato flakes and see if that helps. You only want to add a few at a time.

I agree, adding more instant potato mix would be perfect.

If you don't have instant potatoes on hand, tapioca makes a good thickener.

I added more potatoes and it worked,

sometimes it better to rest them in the fridge for the night, it makes them harder,
then microwave a couple potatoes the next day.

Very easy way out for fickle-minded people. Where has love, commitment, patience and perseverance gone?
