To prepare, you typically heat milk and butter or water in a saucepan until simmering. Then, you remove it from the heat and stir in the potato flakes. Continue stirring until the flakes are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Some people prefer a thicker consistency and will use less liquid, while others add a bit more for a looser texture. Seasoning with salt and pepper is usually done to taste.
