To prepare, you will typically need to combine the contents of the packet with milk and butter in a saucepan. Stirring is important as the mixture heats up on the stovetop. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, coating the tender potato pieces. It is usually cooked until the potatoes are soft and the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Some variations might suggest baking the mixture after stovetop preparation for a slightly different texture.
