Meijer Scalloped Potatoes Mix
What it is
This is a dry mix designed to help you quickly prepare a classic side dish. It contains dehydrated potato flakes and a seasoning blend. The intention is to provide a convenient way to achieve the creamy, savory flavor of scalloped potatoes without starting from scratch with fresh ingredients. The mix simplifies the process, making it accessible for home cooks of all skill levels.
How people cook with it
This mix is a convenient shortcut for a popular comfort food side. It can elevate a simple meal with minimal effort.
- Quick side dish for weeknight dinners

To prepare, you typically combine the dry mix with milk and butter in a saucepan. You then bring this mixture to a simmer, stirring until it thickens into a creamy sauce. Finally, you would incorporate cooked potato slices or cubes into the sauce and heat through. Some variations might involve baking the mixture in a dish for a more traditional presentation and a slightly crisped top. The goal is a smooth, rich sauce coating tender potatoes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh scalloped potatoes that require slicing potatoes and making a sauce from scratch, this mix offers a significant time-saving advantage. The flavor profile is pre-determined by the seasoning blend, offering a consistent taste experience with every use.

How to keep the rest
After preparing your dish, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days. Ensure the container is well-sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven.
