To prepare, simply bring the specified amount of water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the potato flakes until well combined.

For an extra touch, consider adding a pinch of black pepper or fresh chives. This process ensures a smooth and creamy texture reminiscent of homemade mashed potatoes.
