Product Review-McCain Simply Potato Slices

Last week, McCain Simply Potatoes were on sale.  I also happened to have a coupon for them in which I doubled and practically got these babies for free-too bad they should just give these away anyway!  These starchy, tasteless potatoes are not worth the money.  The variety of options for how to cook the slices range from an electric skillet, to fry pan, to steam in the microwave.  I chose to steam them while the other components to dinner (apple juice pork chops and carrots) were cooking away on the stove.  After 14 minutes, the potatoes were done.  After cutting a slit in the bag so the steam can escape, I dumped them into a bowl and one big ol' potato chunk came out.  Hmm.. the back suggested making mashed potatoes out of them.  Since the chunk wasn't going to be that appealing, I grabbed some salt, pepper and fat free half and half and went to town making mashed potatoes.  What resulted were weird, almost fake mashed potatoes with weird texture. 

All in all, I won't be making these again.  I however will give McCain Simply Potatoes a try, but the whole ones to maybe try to roast in a pinch... if I can get them next to nothing :)
