Simply Potatoes Review & Giveaway #simplypotatoes
I am a little lazy when it comes to cooking. Must be why I married not one but two chefs in my life. But this time of year, our restaurant is opening, and my husband is too busy cooking for other people to cook for the family. But the kids still have to eat, so what is a mom who burns water supposed to do? Well, for my side dishes, I turn to Simply Potatoes. If you want something quick and easy, but that tastes like it was home made, they are a great place to start.
For my review, I tried out two varieties of the Simply Potatoes. The garlic mashed potatoes and the mashed sweet potatoes. I couldn't believe how good they were. There were no big lumps, so it was smooth and satisfying. The garlic flavor made it taste like a gourmet meal. This isn't like the instant potatoes in a box. They taste like the ones my grandmother used to make. Probably because they use real potatoes, milk and butter to bring out that creamy perfection. The best part is that is is hassle free. I'm trying to juggle my career as a novelist, my blogging, my three (almost four) kids, helping with the restaurant, and dozens of school activities. I don't have time to spend hours slicing and dicing and cooking potatoes. With Simply Potatoes, I can just toss them in the microwave for a few minutes and that gives me more quality time to spend with my family.
There are only a few examples of the products you can find at Simply Potatoes. They also have hash browns, potato wedges, macaroni and cheese and more. If you would like to learn more about all the great products available at Simply Potatoes, you can visit their website.

I use their products often and find that I can stretch a smaller amount of protein to feed more people or give larger portions and with a tight budget that is a big help.

It helps to cut down on the prep time, so I don't have to cut, shred, or mash the potatoes.
