Augason Farms Funeral Potatoes 13 6 OZ Food Pouch

Super easy side dish with great flavor. They are a really good value for the price, and are super convenient for those nights when you didn't plan dinner. Just whip these together, stir in some ham chunks or pieces of chicken, and dinner is served! The flavor and texture are great. They cook up soft and not rubbery like some other dehydrated potatoes. One pack does a 9 X 13 pan and feeds a family of six. I did add a little extra shredded cheese because my family really likes a gooey casserole. I bought another case of these after trying the first packet. Great quality and product size.

These were an easy quick dinner my husband made for me tonight he added cubed ham and cheese. It was an easy one day casserole that’s hardy and filling. I was skeptical to try them but they turned out great. I don’t know much about the otherwise but I’m going to be ordering more for sure. For the price it would feed a family of five easily for filling portions with about a pound of ham and a simple salad like we did. I think it’s a budget friendly meal probably less than two dollars a person in a simple filling meal like that.

We first tried to make half of the recipe. We reduced all the ingredients by half and it turned out very watery, so there was really no way to judge the taste or texture. We think the problem may have been using a standard-sized, non stick loaf pan. It kept the mixture deep compared to a larger, more shallow pan. We made the next batch in a lightly buttered Pyrex 9" x 12" pan, loosely covered with foil until removing it to brown the top for the last 10 minutes, and it turned out perfectly. Make sure to place the pan on a cookie sheet or large piece of foil to catch any run over. It was drier and what you would think was the correct consistency, not hard to chew, and not mushy. One comment would be to use a sharp or strong tasting cheese for a topping. It adds flavor to an otherwise bland dish. It's an easy dish to add spices or herbs, or even a sauce as a topping when crisping the top. Other than it being expensive for the amount of potatoes you end up with compared to buying 5 lbs of potatoes and a small block of cheese too grate, it is much less messy and a lot less work overall. Deserved 4 1/2 stars.

Delish have bought a few times now! I added sour cream & cream cheese and a little extra cheese.

Easy to make and convenient to have, but they tasted like box potatoes to me.

I've had these. They are woderful. Whether you save them for an emergency or just have them on hand in your daily pantry, I'm sure you will enjoy them as well.

We so wanted to like this but... First it wreaked while it cooked... literally... a really strong pungent smell like a sickening perfume your Aunt Zelda from the sticks might wear... seriously, did we get a bad batch?? It didn't smell or potatoes or spices... Then, following the directions, we added our own cheese topping and... that didn't help... The smell didn't get any better when it was time to eat... Finally we had to open windows to help dispel the stench... And spray air freshener all over the place... No, seriously... it was that bad... and LINGERING... all we can wonder is DID WE GET A BAD BATCH?? We CAN'T imagine this is normal... Additionally we have 2 unopened pouches that we are now HESITANT to use... ehhhh.... it honestly smelled nasty and we really wonder DID WE GET A BAD BATCH??

These pouches with the rather macabre name are a new staple in our household. Literally all you have to do is spray or grease a large baking dish and add water and the pouch contents and give it a stir, then bake. Very tasty, but a little on the salty side, so I would not serve it with ham or any other higher-salt meat. We have added chopped onions and/or drained mushrooms on occasion, and usually top with a bit of grated cheese when the dish is almost done, but these potatoes are perfectly fine without any additions or tweaks.
