Canned potatoes are peeled and partially cooked before being canned and are ready for immediate use, significantly reducing preparation and cooking time.

They're available in several forms for convenience, including sliced, diced, and whole, all offering a variety of uses with minimal effort.

Even disregarding their pre-prepped status, canned potatoes boast a significant advantage in terms of shelf life. Unopened cans can remain edible for up to five years.

First, drain and rinse the canned potatoes, as the liquid they are submerged in can contain lots of sodium. They will require seasoning regardless of how you prepare them.
