Kroger Sliced White Potatoes
What it is
These are pre-sliced white potatoes preserved in a liquid, typically water or brine. They are a convenient way to incorporate potatoes into meals without the need for peeling and slicing fresh ones. The slicing ensures they cook more evenly and quickly. They are a pantry staple for many households looking for quick meal solutions.
How people cook with it
These versatile potatoes can be used in a variety of dishes, from comforting casseroles to quick side dishes.
- Added to soups and stews
- Layered in casseroles
- Pan-fried for breakfast
- Mashed for a quick side
To use, simply drain the potatoes from their liquid. They can be rinsed if desired. For many applications, they can be added directly to the cooking process. For example, they can be incorporated into a simmering stew or layered into a casserole before baking. If you prefer a firmer texture, you might drain and lightly pan-fry them before adding other ingredients. Their pre-cooked nature means they absorb flavors well and contribute to the overall texture of the dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh potatoes, these are already peeled, sliced, and partially cooked. This saves significant preparation time. Canned potatoes may have a softer texture than freshly cooked ones due to the canning process, which can be an advantage in dishes where a tender potato is desired.

Home cooks seeking convenient and quick ways to add potatoes to their meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused potatoes to a separate airtight container and refrigerate. It is best to consume the remaining potatoes within a few days to maintain their quality and prevent spoilage. Ensure they remain submerged in their liquid or cover with fresh water if needed.
