Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch, Flour or Powdered Milk

Instructions

  • Slowly add cornstarch, flour or powdered milk to your runny mashed potatoes, 1 tablespoon at a time
  • Stir the potatoes together. And add another tablespoon until they have thickened to your desired thickness.

Notes

I prefer to thicken with cornstarch as it does not affect the flavor of the mashed potatoes.
