Technically speaking, potatoes are a vegetable, but nutritionists classify them as a starchy carbohydrate. While they might not be a great choice for people that are averse to carbs, the Freezer Meal Frenzy staff loves potatoes; we’re happy to enjoy them as a side dish or as part of an entree.
If you share our fondness for potato dishes, you should try Trader Joe’s Roasted Potatoes with Peppers & Onions. This frozen food is one of our favorites.
What makes this potato and pepper blend such a delight? To start with, it’s incredibly easy to cook. There are barely any instructions on the bag; the only thing you really have to do is toss the potatoes in a pan and keep them there until they’re ready to eat. We recommend cooking this until the potatoes start to brown.
The potato portion of this dish is lightly seasoned with olive oil and a blend of herbs. Thanks to the herbs, the potatoes are scrumptious and savory, but the seasoning isn’t overwhelming. Unlike Trader Joe’s Garlic Potatoes with Parmesan Sauce, the natural flavors are what stands out here. The bell peppers are soft and slightly sweet, a quality that contrasts nicely with the potatoes.
We think these potatoes make a terrific side dish, but we actually prefer to enjoy them as an entree. Pair these potatoes with Trader Joe’s Sausage-Less Sausage — or a meaty sausage of your choosing — and you’ve got yourself a nice, hearty meal. Trader Joe’s suggests combining these potatoes with eggs and serving them for brunch, which sounds delicious to us.
No matter when or how you eat Trader Joe’s Roasted Potatoes with Peppers & Onions, this is something you’ll want to keep in your freezer. These potatoes are simple, tasty, and flexible. Whether you serve them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner — or simply enjoy them as a snack — this is a nice treat for anyone who’s craving some carbs.
