To prepare, you will typically empty the contents of the pouch into a saucepan. Add the specified amount of water and butter, then stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for a set amount of time, stirring periodically, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. It is important to follow the specific instructions on the package for best results.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh scalloped potatoes, this product offers significantly faster preparation time. It uses dehydrated potato slices which rehydrate during cooking, and a pre-mixed seasoning for the sauce, eliminating the need to slice potatoes or make a sauce from scratch.
