Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased these primarily for my slower paced winter backpacking trips where a little bit heartier meal than a fast smoothie breakfast would keep me warmer better."
"One box will feed 4 people , I cook them on a cast iron when car camping and they always come out great."
"I like that they take about 5 minutes to rehydrate and maybe 15 minutes to cook."
"He poured boiling water on them, let them sit a while and then fried them on the camp stove. Since then I've found that they're also a very useful item to have in the pantry. You can use boiling water, if you like, but I just fill the container with water up to the top of the dried potato level and boil it in the microwave oven. When it's done and almost all the water is gone, I let it sit a while for the dried potatoes to absorb any remaining moisture."
"Or you canI rehydrate the carton the evening before use and just put the whole thing in the fridge over night."
"Just a little butter in a non-stick pan and the finished product is crisp on the outside and soft inside as it should be."
"Each carton gives so much potatoes that for my adult son and I (and both of us love to eat), we prepare only half the container and save the rest in the refrigerator and use within 3 days."
"Shelf life is listed as 1 year but I see no reason why it could not be part of an emergency food supply as the product is just dried potato's."
With only 3 ingredients: Potatoes, butter and salt, these potatoes are down to earth. Made with 100% Real Idaho potatoes.

"It wasn't all that many years ago that these side dishes by Knorr - a German food company - were not that easy to find in American supermarkets and you would have to special order these directly from the manufacturer or some such thing."
"Excellent - third purchase...different taste - we add broccoli florets and it makes a big difference to the flavor."
"Add some protein to it like tuna, left over roast chicken or maybe even some shrimps or something and it would be a meal."
"I have this in my pantry all of the time - always have - along with packages of salmon to add to it when I'm in the mood."
"I like to microwave for 9 minutes, stir in frozen peas and broccoli, and microwave another minute and a half to make it a little healthier - plus I just prefer alfredo with peas in it!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Maybe my sinuses are flared up worse than I realize, or maybe I'm at a genetic disadvantage with a lowered sense of smell. My first time eating them, I was rushed and starving... so I ate them straight out of the microwave tossed in pesto sauce. BUUUT, the SECOND time I prepared them, I made a creamy based sauce (melted 1 oz. coconut oil, topped with some curry powder) and LET IT SIT for 2-3 minutes after preparing the dish. I'm pleased with my purchase, and I'd recommend these to people watching their glucose levels or anybody wanting a zero-carb option."
"I absolutely love eating with an organic cheese powder that I buy here on Amazon. The cheese clings to the noodles perfectly, and if I want to eat a childhood favorite, I ate a sliced organic hotdog. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the texture of Konnyaku flour doesn't work well as an elbow noodle. Now and then I'll splurge with a snack or two, but for the most part, I eat a healthy, grain-free paleo diet.... but my secret is that I used to LOVE ramen noodles. Everything about them - the texture, the salty, MSG-laden taste of the packet that comes with them, especially the shrimp flavor! As far as taste goes, they are very mild-tasting, which means that they're perfect for adding spices to and creating whatever dish you dream of. I've been adding a small amount of broth to mine with spices like paprika, salt, garlic, and sometimes turmeric. I make mine from scratch using any veggies I have on hand, a pot roast, a can or two of crushed tomatoes, some vegetable stock, and a dash of honey. I use about 1/4 cup of the soup, toss it into a pan with 1 tablespoon or so of butter, add Coconut Aminos to taste, along with about 2 teaspoons of arrowroot. Take your soup, add butter and some soy sauce to taste along with enough flour to thicken it to your liking. I mix it with the miracle noodles, it blends so well, and it's the perfect portion of food for me. My 2nd favorite recipe: 1 package Miracle Noodles Angel Hair. Organic Cheese Powder. Butter. Protein of your choice (cooked hamburger meat, hot dogs, chicken, etc.). Add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter - basically you want to coat the noodles with some liquid leftover on the bottom. Afterwards, toss in some cooked hamburger, hot dogs, chicken, or any meat of your choice. I honestly recommend these to everyone I meet - whether you follow a strict, healthy diet or you just want to experiment with a new pasta, these are a wonderful alternative."
"I'm sure many of you will do the same thing I did.... look at the item, read the reviews and either put them on your wish list to think about later or just think... are they worth the money to find out if they are as bad-or good-as the reviews say? I was still contemplating this question when my husband snuck into my account and bought them. I put them in a teflon pan (no oil per directions) and dried them out. So I was fixing pan fried pork chops in butter for dinner... we have a pan with all those good scrapings, butter and grease.... and yes, we dumped these noodles in and sort of flash fried them in all that yummy goodness. Nope, they have a very distinctive texture and I have no idea how to really describe it. But you know what, when you aren't eating real noodles--for whatever reason--these fill that craving."

"There was a great price on these when I purchased them, which swayed me for sure, as I usually purchase these at the supermarket."
"Sometimes I place orders on Amazon just to please my four year old son."
"It's obviously a fact that the drop below competitive prices makes it from a money saving offer, a favorable consideration, but for a large quantity purchase (in this case, only a 60 day expiration date) larger families might be able to consume a dozen packs in 2 months, but many buyers like myself, would not."
