5.0 out of 5 stars Actually really good!
I wasn’t sure how good these were going to be, but they actually turned out to be delicious! The price is a little high for a pouch of potatoes; in my opinion, but I ended up buying 2 more bags to put in my store because they were so good. I definitely recommend these potatoes for regular use, or to put up in your emergency storage.
4.0 out of 5 stars Follow the recipe
We first tried to make half of the recipe. We reduced all the ingredients by half and it turned out very watery, so there was really no way to judge the taste or texture. We think the problem may have been using a standard-sized, non stick loaf pan. It kept the mixture deep compared to a larger, more shallow pan. We made the next batch in a lightly buttered Pyrex 9" x 12" pan, loosely covered with foil until removing it to brown the top for the last 10 minutes, and it turned out perfectly. Make sure to place the pan on a cookie sheet or large piece of foil to catch any run over. It was drier and what you would think was the correct consistency, not hard to chew, and not mushy. One comment would be to use a sharp or strong tasting cheese for a topping. It adds flavor to an otherwise bland dish. It's an easy dish to add spices or herbs, or even a sauce as a topping when crisping the top. Other than it being expensive for the amount of potatoes you end up with compared to buying 5 lbs of potatoes and a small block of cheese too grate, it is much less messy and a lot less work overall. Deserved 4 1/2 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Pantry Staple
I’ve been to more than a few traditional Christian funerals with luncheon afterwards in the fellowship hall. There is traditionally a hot dish of shredded potatoes with cream baked to done. Sometimes cheese is sprinkled on top. The goal here is to a good dish, but not great. The be satisfying and filling, without being outstanding. Nobody should go home thinking, “Those potatoes were delicious.” The potatoes are there to fill and to satisfy, not to impress. The memories should be of the deceased and the homily.What we have here is not Funeral Potatoes. These are filling and satisfying, but also tasty. These are what you would traditionally find at Easter or Thanksgiving or Christmas or some other significant celebratory dinner.But here is the important thing: these are incredibly easy to make. You just literally add water and bake. And now the cook is free to focus on other dishes.Let me save you some clean up: the directions say to mix the package contents with six cups of water in a bowl and transfer to a baking dish. No. Just measure the water into the baking dish, add the package contents, and mix gently. Let them just sit for about 15 minutes to hydrate. Bake time and temperature are very tolerant so this dish can share an oven easily with other dishes. A little cheese and maybe some fried onions or even bacon crumbles on top for the last few minutes are classic.When you mix six cups of water with the packet contents, the result will be an almost liquid slurry. This is correct. Just let it hydrate for 15 minutes or so and bake it at 350-400 for an hour or so.And the leftovers microwave easily.In short, this is a super-easy side dish to accompany so many meals. It’s a pantry staple you ought to keep on hand.
3.0 out of 5 stars was just ok
Easy to make and convenient to have, but they tasted like box potatoes to me.
1.0 out of 5 stars Strange smell and taste...
We so wanted to like this but... First it wreaked while it cooked... literally... a really strong pungent smell like a sickening perfume your Aunt Zelda from the sticks might wear... seriously, did we get a bad batch?? It didn't smell or potatoes or spices... Then, following the directions, we added our own cheese topping and... that didn't help... The smell didn't get any better when it was time to eat... Finally we had to open windows to help dispel the stench... And spray air freshener all over the place... No, seriously... it was that bad... and LINGERING... all we can wonder is DID WE GET A BAD BATCH?? We CAN'T imagine this is normal... Additionally we have 2 unopened pouches that we are now HESITANT to use... ehhhh.... it honestly smelled nasty and we really wonder DID WE GET A BAD BATCH??
5.0 out of 5 stars pleasantly surprised
had never heard of these before, and really, they aren't much different than a package of Au Gratin potatoes, except for being shredded potatoes instead of slices. and we like this better. Am not much for a cook, and we usually eat really plain simple foods. Sour cream, parsley, some of the other ingredients are NOT common in my kitchen. and yes, this IS a processed food mix. No, it is not gourmet cooking. So for a first time, and as there are only two of us, weighed out half the package - making sure to get a good amount of the dry seasoning mix with the potatoes - and made it in a pyrex loaf pan. Amazing amount of water when you do the first mix, but it came out just fine with pretty much everyone having seconds.Next time, will know how to doctor them up a bit as will know what is expected here. But can see lots of possibilities including a casserole with added veggies and some kind of meat.and now I finally have something to bring to the occasional neighborhood pot luck.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very good
I let is soak in 4.5 cups of water (instead of recommended 6) for 20 minutes. Mixed in 1 cup of sour cream before I placed in baking dish. Then topped with 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar before placing in the oven. Baked for 1 hour at 400. Then spread another half cup of sharp cheddar over the top. Topped that with 2 cups crushed corn flakes mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Back in the oven at 400 for 15-20 minutes. Came out amazing! Will definitely be buying more
