Chef's Notes
Listen to me closely, culinary adventurer. Do not underestimate the power of instant magic; treat these flakes with the respect of hand-peeled Russets, and your palate shall be richly rewarded.

Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump lukewarm tap water onto those flakes instead of a rolling boil, you will inadvertently create a tragic, gray, wallpaper-paste sludge that even the royal hounds would look at with profound disappointment.

Royal Court Comedy

Dehydrated potato flakes are essentially starch cells that have been cooked and rapidly dried. When boiling water hits them, they frantically reabsorb moisture, but adding fat like butter and sour cream coats those starches, preventing a gluey disaster.
