My entire family loves potatoes, I have to make a ton when I make them because they just devour them and much prefer them to other starch options I provide some supper times. The problem with that for me is that I don’t always exactly have the time to stand there at the sink and peel potatoes, then cut them up, bowl them and mash them and scalloped potatoes, forget it I can never seem to find the time. Especially since they require to be sliced so thinly, then it is shredding cheese to make them cheesy and making sure they don’t burn or boil over or anything else that seems to happen to me when I am making them. During the school year I have even less time to do this because it seems like the kids go to school and then their after school programs then they are starving and home to eat and then we are running to Boy Scouts or swimming lessons or appointments or any other number of activities we have to do.
Betty Crocker sees that parents like me struggle with this and has provided us with a very yummy solution in their specialty potatoes. The Betty Crocker Specialty potatoes come in a wide variety including mashed roasted garlic, mashed creamy butter, and even casserole au gratin. My family certainly has some favorite dinners made with the Betty Crocker Specialty potatoes but one of the main meals they love is when I make meatloaf, fresh-cut carrots and casserole au gratin potatoes. If I don’t want leftovers and an easy supper to throw together that just cooks while I am busy doing other things this is my go to meal.
The Casserole au gratin potatoes are 100% real scalloped potatoes in a creamy cheddar sauce with onion and herbs. I could never make my potatoes taste like this and to be honest I don’t even need to bother trying because Betty Crocker has taken all the hard work out of cooking for me.
If you are looking for a nutritious alternative to standing at the sink wasting precious time peeling, cleaning, cutting or chopping potatoes then I highly recommend you check out the Betty Crocker Speciality potatoes.
