Not long ago I saw some reference to a Jacques Pepin recipe for potato and leek soup using potato flakes. Probably saw it here.

I know I posted about that soup several times, I think. I've made it quite a few times and it's delicious. I use way more leeks and I saute them in butter to soften them. I use the immersion blender on some of them and I also add gruyere to the soup before serving. No one has ever detected that I used potato flakes. You can control the consistency you want easily.
