My family used to get snowed in sometimes when we lived in Madison, Wisconsin.  Our daughter Florence loved the “snow days” that kept her out of school and kept me scrambling around the kitchen for lunch.

This recipe is one of my go-to easy pantry snacks.

-1 package of your favorite instant mashed potatoes made according to the directions

-Half a (7.5-ounce) jar of Alfredo sauce

Steps:

1-Mix the mashed potatoes and the Alfredo sauce.

Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
