Trader Joe's Hasselback Potatoes With Butter & Sea Salt


What you see is what you get (though the bits of green garnish in the photo are a "serving suggestion," not part of the product you buy). It's a potato, sliced, with butter and salt, and baked for you--though it still takes 30 minutes in the oven to take it from frozen to hot enough to serve.

It's hard to see the point of this. There's so little butter and salt that both Nina and I decided we needed to add more anyway. It's an entirely average potato otherwise--nothing special.

And do we really need to be flying potatoes here from FRANCE? Did Idaho and Oregon fall off the continent without anybody telling me?


Will I buy it again? 

No.

  1. I had such high hopes for this!! Totally nothing like a proper hasselback potato which should have crispy edges and slightly softer towards the bottom- just tasted like a baked potato even after i left it in an extra amount of time. Like they used the wrong kind of potato or maybe freezing just screwed it up. Dunno but won't rebuy, easy enough to do myself for the cost of a (US sourced) potato.
