Ready-to-Cook Mashed Potatoes

Trader Joe’s Mashed Potatoes are Sold Frozen and Easy to Prepare

— October 29, 2022 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's is making it easier than ever to enjoy everyone's favorite comfort food with the launch of its new Trader Joe’s Mashed Potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are a beloved dish, but all the washing, peeling, and mashing involved means it can be fairly time consuming to prepare. But now, there's a much easier option thanks to Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's Mashed Potatoes are cooked to the "pinnacle of creamy palatability" and then quick frozen at just the right time. This process helps to retain flavor, but also makes the potatoes super easy to prepare. All you have to do is is warm them up when ready to serve. As Trader Joe's puts it, "These Mashed Potatoes cook quickly, and involve virtually no effort on the part of the cook. A winning scenario."
