Frequently Asked Questions

Overcooking is the likely culprit. Cooking time depends on the size of the potato, so we recommend testing the potatoes with a fork or knife while boiling them. If the utensil slides through easily, the potato is done cooking.

These potatoes make the perfect side dish forchicken,steak,fish,pork chops,hamburgersandveggie burgers. However, they’re so good, you might be tempted to snack on them or serve them as appetizers.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
