Spiffy Food Storage Spuds

I'm trying to include food storage items in our meals occasionally.
A - I'm learning how to cook with them
B - I'm actually using them and thus rotating them
C - I don't have time or the inclination to go to the store (which brings us back full circle to A & B

Last night I pulled out the Potato Flakes. We know these are pretty yummy anyway, as far as reconstituted mashed potatoes go. Hey, they'll never take the place of REAL mashed potatoes but boil up some milk and some butter to reconstitute them and they aren't half bad (in a pinch).

I was serving up a nice pork tenderloin which doesn't make a lot of drippings, thus no gravy. But I wanted to kick the potatoes up just a notch so I rummaged in my fridge and found a container with Feta Cheese.

Perfect!

I mixed a handful of Feta Cheese into the hot mashed potatoes, let them sit together for a few minutes and served them up.

Creamy! Tangy! Yummy! Easy!

One of these days I need to try making Potato Flakes with the dried milk and dehydrated butter that I have stored. Has anyone out there done this yet? Any hints on working with dehydrated butter?
