To prepare, simply heat the garlic mashed potatoes according to the package directions. This usually involves microwaving for a few minutes until hot and thoroughly heated through. Alternatively, you can heat it in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature. Ensure it is heated evenly before serving. It is ready to be served as is, or you can stir in a little extra butter or milk for a richer consistency if desired.
