I'm not sure they've "come a long way" but it always made sense to add
more milk and butter to make them a bit more smooth. And oh, to maybe
use a small whisk rather than just a fork to flake them.

Mostly the only thing I ever use instant mashed potato flakes for is as
a thickener for soup which is a little too brothy/thin.
