To prepare, simply bring water and butter or margarine to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the potato flakes and Tapatío seasoning. Mix until fully combined and the potatoes are creamy. For a richer flavor, you can add milk or cream. Serve immediately as a hot side dish. The texture is smooth and consistent, making it easy to achieve desired creaminess. Adjusting the amount of liquid can alter the final consistency.
