Notes

One batch: whisk 1/2 cup mix with 2 3/4 cups boiling water and 2 tbsp butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add 3 cups dehydrated potato slices, pressing them under the sauce. Cover and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 more minutes. Rest 5 minutes.
Fresh potatoes: parboil or microwave until just barely tender, then slice; use 6 cups slices and reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups.
