Prepare the Instant Mashed Potatoes
Follow the instructions on the instant mashed potatoes package to prepare the potatoes. Set them aside once ready. -
Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, sautéing until they are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. -
Combine Ingredients

Tear the toast into small pieces and fold them into the mashed potato mixture. This step adds a subtle crunch and texture to the dish, but it can be omitted if you prefer a smoother consistency. -
Season and Transfer to Baking Dish
Season the mashed potato mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a greased 11×7-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. -
Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dish is set. -
