7 masa wat recipes

My favorite as a child growing up in cold Minnesota.

Modern hardtack made with flour, masa harina, wheat germ, and oats for a more nutritious survival bread. A shelf-stable cracker that keeps indefinitely in airtight containers.

Tater-stuffed mushrooms: button mushroom caps stuffed with mashed potato, cottage cheese, and onion soup mix. A clever low-fat appetizer that uses up leftover mashed potatoes.

Food processor potato bread made with instant potato flakes, dry milk, and eggs for an extra-soft, tender crumb. One round loaf with a golden crust and pillowy interior.

Canned corned beef stirred into onion soup-flavored instant mashed potatoes with melted margarine and grated cheese. A quick, budget-friendly one-pot comfort meal ready in 30 minutes.

Cheese potato chowder with cheddar and blue cheese, ready in 30 minutes using instant potato flakes. A creamy, thick soup with sharp cheese flavor and a tangy blue cheese finish.

Old fashioned cinnamon raisin braid made with potato dough for extra-soft texture. Three strands rolled in cinnamon sugar and braided into one gorgeous, fragrant loaf.
