and stir. When the potatoes are cooked through, season with remaining teaspoon

of potato blend, cook and stir for another minute. Serve hot. serves 4 to 6.

plenty of water. When they are cooked through, drain off all but 3 tablespoons

of the water. Smash the potatoes with some butter and potato spice.
