Onion Gravy Hack

[Barriehie]

When I saw these I thought of TastyReuben and his mashed potatoes hack with the instant package. I made my roux and stirred in a generous amount then added my stock and boom: hacked onion gravy.

I think you could probably do this with onion soup mix as well? I love those crispy battered onions though.

I think I used *most* of the bag. It was quite good.

Have to say I LOVE that when folks look in their fridge/cupboard/closet and say:
"Hmm, I can do something with that..."

TastyReuben mashed potatoes hack was subbing the instant ones like homemade. Mrs T. liked it and said do it again. I found my remark to his post. What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2024)?

So it's not instant dry potato flakes. It's Bob Even's.

In my head if it's not potatoes it's instant.

I guess I can see why but they're ready made.

Dehydrated potato flakes make a nice gluten free fish coating for pan fried fish.

They do? I would have thought they went soggy. I must try it!

Learned it from a friend in Florida who was a fishing boat captain. He and his wife ran out of breading and used the potato flakes but it was shallow pan frying, not deep frying. I don't believe they used any egg wash. I'm sure someone else out there has done this before as well.
