And it tastes good too! 😄

Preparing your meal
Like most backpacking meals, preparing couldn’t be easier.
Boil 250ml of water with your cooking setup.
And add the mashed potato stuff to the pot while stirring.
After the consistency gets thicker, stir in cashews, and add the fried onions on top. Done!
I personally love this dish, hope you like it too! 🙌
