2 pouches (3.6 oz each) Betty Crocker™ Homestyle creamy butter mashed potatoes (just-add-water variety)
3 cups vegetable oil
Ranch dressing, if desired

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling. Turn off heat. Add potatoes. Mix to combine.
  • Spread potatoes onto an ungreased rimmed half baking sheet or 13x9-inch pan. Smooth top with spatula. Place in freezer about 1 hour or until frozen.
