Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup milk
2 cups water
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 pouch (4.7 oz) Betty Crockerâ„¢ homestyle creamy butter mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat milk, water and margarine to a rapid boil over medium-high heat (watch carefully to avoid boilover).

  • Meanwhile, cut 4 pieces plastic wrap, about 9x12 inches each. Line insides of 4 (6-oz) custard cups with plastic wrap; spray with cooking spray. Divide potatoes evenly among custard cups. Press firmly; turn upside down onto individual serving plates.
  • Remove plastic wrap from each potato mound; choose from suggested ingredients above to make faces. Serve immediately.
