If I could ask my ten year old self which food is my favorite I’m sure I would reply potatoes and gravy. If I could ask my twenty year old self which food is my favorite I’m sure I would reply potatoes and gravy. If I could ask my thirty year old self which food is my favorite I’m sure I would reply potatoes and gravy. You get the idea. I have been a fan of mashed potatoes and gravy for a long time, over twenty years. Geesh, I’m old.
I have had my share of nasty, yes nasty, potatoes. The worst are the instant from a box variety. I need the real stuff. I was raised on a farm where we grew our own potatoes. When my mom needed some potatoes for supper I would run downstairs in the basement to “the potato room”. Yes, we even had a room in our house dedicated to potatoes. Well, actually it was a root cellar to store all winter vegetables and canned goods, but we only stored potatoes and onions.
Now that you understand my personal potato history. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Simply Potatoes are simply mashed potato heaven. I was skeptical the first time I purchased a package at my local Target store. But I was in a bind. I was in town running errands and by the time I got home I wouldn’t have time to make supper. Rather than purchasing take-out food, I wanted to serve my family something that was cheaper and a bit healthier. I rounded up a rotisserie chicken, a container of Simply Potatoes, and a bag of carrots and spinach.
The potatoes looked good on the packaging, but how would they taste? I was amazed. I am a mashed potatoes connoisseur and let me assure you Simply Potatoes passes the test. Why? The biggest reason is that they are real potatoes. No dried flakes. Real potatoes in solid form. That one fateful night in search of a quick meal has lead to a number of other nights with the exact same menu. It is tasty and easy. Just this past week……..
Doesn’t gravy make everything better?
If you are planning on having a large number of people for Thanksgiving or even if you are only hosting your immediate family a container of Simply Potatoes would be handy to have in the refrigerator. Think of it as cheap insurance. If you really want to fool them throw away the container and claim them as your own creation. Your guest will think you are a mashed potato genius.
I recently tried the Garlic Mashed Potatoes from Simply Potatoes. We love garlic at my house and these potatoes were outstanding. I can’t find them as easily as the traditional mashed potatoes variety, but the next time I do, I’m going to snatch them up.
