I have never had much success with leftover mashed potatoes, instant or from scratch, so over time I developed my own little formula that leaves very little left over.
1 medium or large potato per person being served (or 2 small per person) + 1-2 extra depending on the size of the potato. If you are cooking for a larger crowd add 3 extra potatoes! Doesn't hurt!
Peel potatoes
Dice
Put in pot and then cover with water
Add a TSP or so of Kosher Salt (I salt while cooking potatoes, I rarely have to add more at the end)
Cook until mushy, Drain.
Add 1/2c milk (add more as needed to get consistency that you want during mashing)
Add Butter or other seasonings to taste
Mash, Smash, Smush or Mix away and enjoy your potatoes!
