Instructions per bag - 2 minutes:
1. Melt 25g butter and let it become light brown or take one portion of gravy and heat it.

(Some of the text is missing - torn off)
Preparation:

  • Peel the potatoes and wash them
  • Clean the carrots and cut into slices
  • Potatoes, carrots and onions in one . . . . . (Missing text)
  • Meanwhile, bring the milk to the boil
  • Drain the potatoes and vegetables and mash with the milk and a knob of butter then mix to a creamy mass.
  • Add mix and stew, stirring to thoroughly warm through.
  • No salt and pepper added.

Tip:
Tasty with sausages or beef with Silvo mix for beef.

I thank you JohnT.  I was not too far off when I made the gravy. I tried the seasoning mix and thought it very sweet so I did not use it. Is there any indication of the quantity of vegetables that one pkg of seasoning mix is meant for?

Yep, the quantities are a secret and thus they are hidden in plain sight on the front of the pack:

1kg potatoes

800g carrots

500g onions

1.5dl milk (which is 150ml)

 

The pack says for 4 servings. The above is actually quite a large amount of vegetables for four persons, especially if you add sausages as mentioned under the "Tip" section. John.
