Wow!. Badly written recipe!. But fairly easy to figure out!.!.!.
When I make a cream gravy/sauce, I use the rule of three (3 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp flour, 3 cups milk), and it tends to turn out perfectly!.
When pureeing the vegetables, add just enough of the remaining 3 cups to make it just slightly more 'soupy' than mashed potatoes (I would guess about a cup)!. Add the remaining 2 cups in the last step!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"divided" after an ingredient is your clue that the total amount of the ingredient needed for the recipe is given, but that thru the course of the recipe, it will be used in 2 different measurements, usually at 2 different times!. For example, "3 cups sugar, divided" may mean 2? cups of sugar goes in the dough instelf, and the remaining half cup of sugar is then sprinkled on top at the end!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It means that you divide the 3 cups in half and use the first 1 1/2 cups for the first part of the recipe when it calls for adding milk and then you would add the second 1 1/2 cups to the recipe when you come upon the latter part of the recipe asking you to" puree potato mixture with some of the milk!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
It means to divide the milk into 2 parts!. Use 1 1/2 cups for the white sauce and enough to make it easy to puree the potatoes!. Then add what is left to the the soup with the rest of the ingredients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
