    Tightwad Kitty, the recipes sound great - could you do a favor and measure out how much is one of your packets of instant potatos? Here in the US they can be bought in all kinds of different sizes. I have mine stored in a big glass barrel, so would need a measurement to try the recipe.

    A day of leisurely reading can be a nice change, can't it?

    Tightwad Kitty wrote me a private email with this additional recipe information in it - thought someone else might also be interested:

    Hi Lux:

    I have fix the recipe on instant potato powder here you can get them in different size too!

    I most common one is 100g - 115g so I will go with 100g size about 6.5tbsp. 3 tsp. = 1 tbsp.

    Here you can use 20ml - 4tsp. size.

    Thanks for reminding about pack sizes.
