The Freezer Meal Frenzy team appreciates potatoes in all forms. As Samwise Gamgee once famously said, you can boil ’em, mash ’em, or stick them in a stew. While we love eating potatoes, we don’t always love peeling them, which is why we love frozen treats like Trader Joe’s Country Potatoes with Haricots Verts & Wild Mushrooms.
Cooking this potato-and-mushroom blend on the stovetop is pretty easy. Heat some oil in a pan, add in the contents of the bag, and give it an occasional stir. Just make sure you separate the potatoes that have clumped together so that everything can cook evenly. In about seven minutes, you’ll have a bowl’s worth of perfectly cooked potatoes.
These potatoes aren’t seasoned that heavily — it’s really just parsley, pepper, and paprika — but they’re absolutely bursting with flavor. They have a wonderful buttery texture to them that really makes them a joy to eat. Our favorite potato pieces were the ones that were crispy around the edges. If you also enjoy crispy edges, don’t be afraid to leave this on the stove for a tad bit longer than the recommended cook time.
We didn’t pay much attention to the green beans — sorry, haricots verts — but the mushrooms here are a real treat. We love the combination of decadent chanterelle mushrooms and earthy boletus mushrooms. Every meaty mushroom is an absolute delight.
Trader Joe’s Country Potatoes with Haricots Verts & Wild Mushrooms are a delicious and versatile frozen dish. You could pair the potatoes with eggs and turn them into a breakfast bowl, toss them into a bowl of potato leek soup, or even do what we did and eat a big old bowl of potatoes plain. This is one of the best frozen veggie combos in the Trader Joe’s freezer aisle.
