Kinder's Garlic Parmesan Frozen Smashed Potatoes, 13 oz Bag

Did these and some TJ shiitake garlic green beans with Aldi prime rib for NYE and it was a show stopper for everyone! I feel for the price there should be even a few more in there to be a regular occurrence side in our house but special occasion is perfect and worth it!

These are delicious. They're expensive. You get very few of them for what they cost. You could make 3x as many homemade for the cost but they are GOOD. They taste amazing. They crisp up perfectly (I ignore the directions. I spray them with a little olive oil and put them in the air fryer at 400 for usually 12-15 minutes. Turn halfway, spray again.) in my air fryer and the sauce packet? Delicious. Making homemade smashed potatoes is a bit of work and it's just me for dinner usually, so it's not always worth the effort when I'm cooking to make them myself. These are great because I can just pull a couple out and make them without feeling like I wasted time. I am a picky eater myself, and I still adore these.

so tasty and so easy! I needed a quick side that was not boring and these were a hit! The liquid gold is perfect but you could save it for a different dish and make these a bit healthier if you are in a pinch and looking for a lower cal side dish and dont have time to par boil, smash, and bake potatoes.

I don’t usually get this excited about a freezer aisle find, but Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan Frozen Smashed Potatoes absolutely deserve it. First off, these are not your average frozen potatoes. The texture alone is a revelation. You get that perfect contrast: crispy, golden edges that crackle just a bit when you bite in, paired with a soft, fluffy interior that feels like it came straight out of a cast iron skillet, not your freezer. They actually smash right, none of that mushy, over processed nonsense. And the flavor is unreal. The garlic hits first, rich, savory, and just bold enough without overpowering anything, then the parmesan comes in with that nutty, slightly salty finish that makes you keep going back for just one more. It tastes like something you would get as a side dish at a really solid restaurant, not something you tossed on a baking sheet after a long day. What really surprised me is how balanced everything is. Some frozen sides lean way too salty or greasy, these don’t. They crisp up beautifully in the oven or air fryer without needing anything extra, but they are also a perfect base if you want to dress them up, a little sour cream, chives, maybe some bacon bits if you are feeling ambitious. Also, 13 oz somehow disappears fast. That is probably my only complaint, you will wish the bag was bigger because people will absolutely demolish these. Great for weeknight dinners, game nights, or honestly just standing at the counter eating them straight off the tray. Bottom line, Kinder’s knocked this out of the park. These are the kind of frozen potatoes that make you rethink what frozen food can be. If you see them, grab a bag. Or two. You will understand immediately.

These were delicious. Easy to prepare. But the quantity, the amount of potatoes in the package was absolutely disappointing. The package states 4 servings. There was barely enough for two servings unless your feeding toddlers. I am providing a photo. keep in mind these are very tiny potatoes. I was so sad about this. I will not purchase again due to this.

The Fortune size is way too small for how much you have to pay for that little . There should be more inside the bag and not so much air. Other than that the taste is good. The quality is off. Potatoes are kinda soggy. You have to like cook them very very long, but it's OK.

Listen, you're reading because you don't want to waste your money. The potatoes are good, sure. But after buying these a few times, it's clear that they're scamming you with these. I just made a bag today and let's just say it was... pitiful-looking in my bowl. A laughable portion, I mean. Like lunchables status. TLDR; If you want their tasty potatoes at a more reasonable cost, consider the Kinders french fry variants instead, which are cheaper/oz and are much larger portions than this sorry excuse for a product

they are a rip off! you are just paying for the name! the bag I bought had literally 17 potatoes in it not even enough to feed my family. and way to much in the seasoning packet. I used what was left for another meal the next night. don't get me wrong I love Kinder brand products. but this isn't worth the money you pay.

Just look at the picture for the product, it shows a bag with what looks like a lot of product, there's nothing in this bag, got this delivered so I wasn't there to physically see this product in person before purchasing. False advertising as far as I'm concerned, but the ingredients yourself it's way cheaper.

Do not buy these. You don’t get very many, and the ones you do get are quite small. They’re fine, but definitely not worth the price. You are paying for the name, not the product. You’d be better off making smashed potatoes at home yourself. It would be cheaper and taste better. They come out of the air fryer very dry, as well, so you’re SOL if you don’t like the seasoning blend it comes with.
