When making "Potato Buds" stovetop mashed potatoes, is there any way to make it come out more soft?

Question

so it's not so heavy? maybe the word is more liquidy?

Answer 1

Sure, add more milk. It'll make it more creamy. Also, a bit more butter makes them taste better too!

Answer 2

Sure! If you add a little extra milk, that will loosen the potatoes. But be sure not to add too much milk or you'll end up with running watery potatoes. Just add a little bit at a time. Do this gradually until you have the texture you want. You can also add a little extra butter. If you really are watching fat or calories, you could add a bit of extra water, but it won't be as flavorful.

Answer 3

Try a dab of sour cream. Prepare as usual, and then add a dollop of sour cream to help ease the consistency a bit.

Answer 4

I personally make homemade mashed potatoes, but if you would like to know a little secret that I put into mine, I use milnot in place of the milk. but you can try to add just a little milnot with your instant ones. also...
and just a dab of mayo. you can't believe how great that they taste!!!
I always make them for special holidays, and everyone goes nuts for them.
try it out you'll see;)
let me know what ya think.

Answer 5

I love potato buds. My fav brand of instant potatoes. I usually add a little more of each: milk, butter, and buds. Sometimes after they are all mixed together, I will add some sour cream, it tends to give it a creamier texture. Sometimes a little extra butter will do the trick.

Answer 6

maybe u r just putting to many 'buds" in the pot.....also don't stir them too much....makes em sticky/heavy.

Answer 7

Use a little less flakes than usual and add a little mayo and whip it up.......

Answer 8

Answer 9
