Advice
To make your mashed potatoes even creamier, feel free to add a touch of extra butter or a splash of cream. For a lighter version, you can swap some or all of the butter with olive oil, or use a dairy-free milk alternative for those with dietary restrictions. If you prefer a more flavorful dish, you can add roasted garlic, fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or a sprinkle of grated cheese for an extra indulgent twist.
For best results, be sure to follow the instructions on your dehydrated potato granules package for rehydration, and always adjust the amount of milk and butter to suit your desired level of creaminess.
