In small bowl, combine powdered milk, flour, cornstarch, onion, chives, salt, mustard powder and black pepper. Mix well.
Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup boiling water into powdered mix. Stir well to ensure no lumps remain. Add remaining water and stir well.
Pour over potato slices.
Cut butter in small pieces and distribute over top of potatoes and liquid.
Place in oven and cook for 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest and set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Milk Powder - For the creamiest flavor use full milk powder but skim milk powder will work too.The sauce mix (without water or butter) can be made ahead and stored with the dried potatoes for even greater convenience. Use within 12 months for best flavor, although it is safe to store for years (see the shelf life of your milk powder).
