We love potatoes here in our home! We do and as I was walking through the grocery store the other day I saw this box of potatoes and thought they would be a perfect fit for Crossroads Media Hub’s Try it Tuesday Link Up. Each Tuesday here I will bringing some new food, kitchen gadget, or trick that I have tried out and letting you know if it actually worked or not. I didn’t even know that Velveeta had boxed potatoes and I thought, why not?
Now just like with any other boxed potato you boil water, milk and butter. I read the instructions on the back and boiled the amounts the box said was needed for one packet. Once the liquids were boiling I added in the potatoes and the packet of Velveeta Cheese that came in the box. The first thing I noticed is that there was too much water.
The direction say to dump the package into the pot. I would not advise doing this because you won’t be able to just if you have too much water until it is too late. I would slowly add the liquid, a cup at a time. To make up for the extra water I added a little plain potato flakes. It didn’t change the taste or anything like that. Just gave us the right consistency. All in all these were great potatoes and I am glad that I made them!
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

We also love potatoes. This would probably be a hit in our house. Cheese and potatoes, how can you go wrong. 🙂 I will have to look for them. Thanks for the review!
They really are great and bet you will love them.
