Potato Flakes

Well this Post was intended for Potato Flakes. But I couldn't resist this short video on how to peel a potato. Remember Gilligan's Island and Maryann? Then you are going to enjoy this.

Here is a Healthy Tip.
(I just came across it , but have not tried it yet. Try it and let me kow what you think.
"Cut the sugar by 1/2 the amount called for. Replace the sugar with potato flakes (potato pearls canned at the cannery will not work). If you do this with cookies, they will not brown as well. In chocolate chip cookies, use all of the brown sugar called for in the recipe, but replace the granulated sugar. Works well with oatmeal cookies, applesauce cookies, and brownies."

Here are a few more:

Use instant potatoes to thicken any soup or stew
Sprinkle some potato flakes into your soup or stew, any soup or stew (even tomato soup). It will thicken the broth a bit. Want it even thicker? Add more flakes!

Use instant potatoes in meatloaf
Instead of adding bread crumbs to your meatloaf, add instant potato flakes instead!

Use instant potatoes in pancake batter
Sprinkle a bit of potato flakes in your pancake batter for a rich and thick pancake! You can serve the pancakes for breakfast or as a snack topped with a bit of peanut butter... and jelly! The kids will love this after school treat.
