To use, drain the potatoes from their liquid. They can be rinsed if desired. For a quick side dish, sauté them in a pan with butter or oil until golden brown and tender. They can also be added directly to simmering soups, stews, or casseroles, where they will cook through and absorb the flavors of the dish. For baked dishes like gratins, they can be layered with cream and cheese and baked until bubbly and browned.

Unlike fresh potatoes, these are already peeled and sliced, saving preparation time. They are also pre-cooked to some extent, meaning they require less cooking time than raw potatoes. The canning process can slightly alter the texture compared to freshly cut potatoes, making them softer.
