To prepare, simply bring the specified amount of water and milk to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the potato flakes and butter or margarine. Let stand for a minute to allow the potatoes to absorb the liquid, then whip with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of liquid for a thicker or thinner consistency.
