My Personal Review

Backyard Grilled Potatoes--need I say more? :) I purchased several bags of Backyard Grilled Potatoes and I cooked them two different ways--in the oven (no bag) and in the microwave (in the bag). I love that you can actually use your microwave to steam the vegetables--right in the bag--in under 8 minutes. When you're cooking dinner, you often have many different things going at once, so having a high-quality side dish-->that can basically take care of itself for you <--is an answered prayer.

The Backyard Grilled Potatoes were steamed to perfection--perfectly fork-tender. If you prefer softer vegetables, you can always cook them a little bit longer. They were well-received by my family and myself. I've already bought more of them.

The Backyard Grilled Potatoes that I cooked in the oven were equally amazing. I simply poured them onto a nonstick casserole pan, covered it with aluminum foil for half the cooking, then uncovered for the 2nd half. I baked them at 400 for around 20-25 minutes. Note: This is not the recommended method of cooking, but I just had to try it out and they came out perfectly roasted! Huge hit!

I definitely recommend the Backyard Grilled Potatoes, because you can get the same slow-baked potato taste straight from your microwave in under 8 minutes--yes, please.
