I used to think that the only way to make mashed potatoes taste good was to serve them with sour cream. Boy, was I wrong! The following recipe is so delicious that I wouldn’t mind having it every day until the whole bag of instant mashed potato flakes was gone!

This recipe, minus the sour cream condiment, is also good as a late night snack. It will help you to go to sleep faster, it will help you to sleep more soundly, and, if you don’t eat too much, it will not make it harder for you to get up in the morning!

(Makes 1 to 3 servings)

1. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt to a 4 cup (1 quart) clear glass microwavable bowl¹. (If you are using unsalted butter and/or you plan on using sour cream as a condiment, you might want to add ½ teaspoon of salt instead of ¼.)

2. Add 1 teaspoon powdered basil. (optional)

3. Add 2 teaspoons of curry powder¹.

4. Shake the bowl in order to distribute the spices somewhat evenly while simultaneously tapping the bowl on the countertop to eliminate lumps.

5. Add 4 tablespoons (½ stick) of butter. (If you plan to use a generous amount of sour cream as a condiment, you might want to only add 2 tablespoons of butter instead of 4.)

6. Microwave until the butter is completely melted.

7. Rock the bowl back and forth until all of the spices are wet with butter.

8. Add a 12 oz. can of evaporated milk².

9. Microwave on high until the mixture begins to boil

10. Add 1 cup of instant mashed potato flakes.

11. Mix.

12. Serve with sour cream as a condiment. (optional)

¹ If you don’t have any curry powder, you can make your own: 3 parts ground coriander, 1 part ground red chili beans, 1 part ground cumin, 1 part ground fenugreek and 1 part ground turmeric.

² If you don’t have any evaporated milk, then 1½ cups of water plus ¾ cup of powdered milk or 1½ cups of tomato juice could be substituted.
