Delicious mashed potatoes with no milk, no butter, and no sour cream as a condiment? Impossible you say? Think again. This recipe is amazing! If you have a box of instant mashed potato flakes and some American style cheese handy then you’re good to go!

This recipe is good (minus the sour cream condiment) as a late night snack. You’ll sleep like a baby, and won’t have any trouble getting up in the morning!

(Makes 1 or 2 servings)

1. Add ½ teaspoon of salt to a 6 or 7 cup clear glass microwavable bowl.

2. Add ½ teaspoon of powdered basil. (optional)

3. Add ½ teaspoon of powdered ginger. (optional)

4. Add ¼ teaspoon of asafeotida (available from East Indian grocery stores). (optional)

5. Add 2 teaspoons of curry powder.¹

6. Rock the bowl from side to side in order to distribute the salt and spices somewhat evenly.

7. Using your fingers, break off small pieces from a solid block of American style cheese, such as Kraft™ Velveeta, placing them into a measuring cup until the 1 cup mark is reached. (You can also do it by weight: 4 ounces of cheese.)

8. Add the cheese to the microwavable bowl.

9. Add 1 cup of water, 1 cup of milk, 1¼ cups of tomato juice (Makes the preparation look like mashed sweet potatoes!), or 1¼ cups of evaporated milk.

10. Microwave on high until the mixture comes to a vigorous boil.

11. Mix until the cheese is completely liquefied.

12. Mix in ½ cup of instant mashed potato flakes. (Mixture will seem too thin at first but will gradually thicken.)

13. Serve while still warm. (Optionally with sour cream as a condiment.)

* 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.
