To prepare, simply heat the roasted garlic potatoes according to the package directions. This usually involves a short time in the oven or microwave to warm them through. You can also add them to other dishes, like a quick frittata or a hearty salad, for added flavor and texture. For a crispier result, consider finishing them under the broiler for a minute or two. They are designed to be heated and served, saving you the time of washing, cutting, and roasting potatoes from scratch.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike raw potatoes that require significant prep and cooking time, these are already cooked and seasoned. The roasting process brings out a deeper, sweeter flavor from the garlic and potatoes compared to simply boiling or steaming.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the leftovers within a few days to maintain freshness and quality. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent the potatoes from drying out.
