Note

For best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets which break down well for a creamy texture.

You can substitute butter for margarine for a richer flavor.

If the dip becomes too thick upon standing, add a splash of warm milk to loosen it before serving.

This dip is best served immediately while hot and creamy.
