Instant mashed potato recipes
By switching to instant mash, you can easily create great tasting meals in bulk. Whether you need to make a softer mashed potato or a firmer mash, effortlessly customise your dish by adding in your own combination of cream, powder, butter and herbs.
To create a deliciously smooth and yummy mashed potato in minutes, simply follow these steps.
1. Combine water, salt, and butter
Either place the ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil or into a microwave-safe container and heat in for up to 3 minutes.
2. Turn off the heat and stir in your milk
Once the ingredients are heated, add in up to half a cup of milk. You can also substitute hot milk and pour boiling water or stock into the bowl instead.
3. Stir in the instant mashed potato mix and let it stand
Measure and pour your instant mashed potato flakes into the bowl. With a fork or a wooden spoon, stir for 10-20 mins or until each potato flake is mixed in. Let the mixture rest for about 1 minute to fully hydrate and expand.
4. Fluff the instant mashed potatoes with a fork
Use a fork to gently stir and create volume and texture. With just a bit of whisking, instant mash potato offers a smoother mash consistency every time without any actual mashing required! If you're after a firmer mashed potato, mix in a thickening agent like skim milk powder, cornstarch or flour or if you prefer a creamier mashed potato, add cream cheese or sour cream.
5. Garnish and serve your mashed potatoes
From here, you can customise your instant mash potato to ensure it goes nicely with the rest of the meal. For an authentic home cooking flavour, many people like to add freshly ground salt and garlic powder or chopped chives and parsley. Once you're ready, serve immediately, while your instant mash potato is still warm.
