Well I use light cream (half and half) in mine which seems to thicken it a
touch. But if you want to thicken it more then add instant potatoes...not
the powder but the flakes. The powder has a tendency to clump and lump up
which the flakes don't do. Or add leftover mashed potatoes of your own
making.

Others can and do use corn starch or flour like in a cream of something
soup.
