What is Trader Joe’s Country Potatoes with Haricots Verts & Wild Mushrooms?
This dish combines soft, seasoned potatoes, tender haricots verts (French green beans), and a mix of wild mushrooms. Chanterelles, button mushrooms, and boletus add earthy flavors and an elegant touch.
The product is made in France, featuring ingredients that aren’t always easy to find in the U.S.
Cooking Instructions
You can prepare Trader Joe’s Country Potatoes quickly and effortlessly:
- Microwave: Heat for 4.5 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Stovetop: Warm it in a pan over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For added texture, I pan-fried some sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms and stirred them in. It made a difference that we can tell!
Next time, I’ll add finely chopped onions for an extra crunch. You can easily customize it to suit your taste.
Taste and Texture: Worth It?
The flavor is subtle yet delicious.
The potatoes are soft, the haricots verts add a gentle bite, and the mushrooms provide earthy undertones. While the smaller mushroom pieces blend in, the larger chanterelle mushrooms are easy to spot.
On its own, the dish is great, but it really shines with small add-ons. Adding shiitake mushrooms or onions takes it to another level. My husband enjoyed it so much he devoured it in no time!
Versatile and Easy to Pair
This dish isn’t just for snacking—it’s incredibly versatile. Here are a few ideas to try:
- Serve it alongside my German sauerkraut meatballs.
- Mix it into a pasta salad for extra flavor and heartiness.
- Use it as a filling breakfast base. Top it with pan-fried tofu, vegan sausage, or avocado.
- Pair it with a leafy green salad for a balanced, easy meal.
