To prepare, simply add hot water and milk to the dehydrated potato and vegetable mixture in a bowl. Stir well until all the powder is incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Allow it to stand for a minute or two to thicken to your desired consistency. You can then heat it further in the microwave or on the stovetop if preferred. For an even richer flavor, you can stir in a knob of butter or a splash of cream.
