Living on 100% food storage - the last grocery store trip was November, 2023. Today is January 24, 2024.
My previous post mentioned I would serve some sort of potato with the mushroom roast for dinner. I opted for mashed potatoes, using some of the mashed potato flakes from storage. I made tonight's mashed potatoes with not only dry potato flakes, but dry milk powder (whole milk) and dried butter power that is old enough all the dates are rubbed off and I'm pretty sure this company doesn't even sell these pouches anymore but they do still sell the #10 cans. The butter powder is vacuum food sealed air tight between uses so even though it's years old, it's still fresh and perfect and works great.
Food Storage Mashed Potatoes
This makes 4 servings
2 c water
2 T whole milk powder (I use Nido)
2 - 3 T dehydrated butter powder (we love buttery potatoes, I used 3)
Salt and Pepper
(Optional: I added some garlic as well)
1 c mashed potato flakes
In a bowl place the milk and butter powder, add the water. Heat in the microwave or heat in a pan on the stove until boiling. Remove from heat and stir in potato flakes with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. (If it's too thick just add a couple more tablespoons of hot water and keep fluffing with a fork until it's the consistency you like.)
