How people cook with it

- Add to breakfast scrambles
- Incorporate into hearty soups

- Mix into casseroles
To use these diced potatoes, simply drain them from their packaging. They can be heated directly in a skillet with a bit of oil or butter until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Alternatively, they can be added to stews, soups, or casseroles during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to absorb flavors and warm through. For a quicker option, they can be microwaved for a minute or two before incorporating into other recipes. Their pre-cooked nature means they require less cooking time than fresh potatoes.

Unlike fresh potatoes, these diced potatoes are already cooked and cut, saving significant preparation time. They also tend to have a softer texture than freshly boiled or roasted potatoes, and their flavor is more neutral, allowing them to readily absorb the tastes of other ingredients they are cooked with.
