After a long day at work, there’s a 50/50 chance that I will want to cook something for dinner. Living in a city like New York, it’s all too easy to succumb to ordering takeout, especially during the winter months. Nobody wants to lug groceries down the block while getting hit with high gusts of wind that cut through your coat like icicles.
When I am in the mood to cook, however, I rely on a few pantry and freezer staples to get me through the week. I generally like to buy frozen vegetables when the produce section looks bleak, and I recently stumbled upon an intriguing offering from Walmart’s new house brand, Bettergoods, that is to die for: Yukon Gold potatoes with peppers and onions.

Walmart Bettergoods Yukon Gold Potatoes With Peppers and Onions

Why I Love Walmart’s Yukon Gold Potatoes With Peppers and Onions
Normally, I prefer to make potato dishes from scratch, but when I don’t have the time or energy to cook, this bag has become my go-to choice for both breakfast and dinner on those extra-long days of the week. Each 20-ounce bag retails for just $3.47 and can serve up to six people.
The bag contains roasted Yukon Gold potatoes, red and green bell peppers, olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, garlic, and sage. This wonderful combination of spices and flavor gives off an aroma that is incredibly appetizing to wake up to.
You can use a microwave, air fryer, or skillet on the stovetop to cook the potatoes, but no method takes more than 18 minutes. Pro tip: don’t use the microwave. I prefer to use a skillet to give the potatoes a nice and crispy edge. The next best option is the air fryer, as the cooking time is the fastest and requires even less work to pull off successfully.
I’ve especially enjoyed making these potatoes for breakfast alongside scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. Where this bag of potatoes really shines, however, is on the dinner table alongside roast chicken, grilled steak, or baked fish. I’ve even eaten them as a standalone dinner on particularly lazy nights. Just top with some melted cheddar cheese and crunchy bacon, and now you’re cooking. The options are endless, which is why the sub-$4 price point makes this product an absolute steal of a deal.
