What are Belgian potato puree?
From my fast research, the potatoes in the Belgian style are traditionally served as a main course than as a side. They are often mixed with vegetables such as carrots or cabbage and sometimes paired with sausage or bacon. Like American potato puree, use butter and cream, but the presentation is more hearty, rustic and should stand for yourself.
In order to remove the competitive conditions and see how they measured themselves against other delicious potato puree, I enjoyed them as a page rather than a main course.

Why I Walmart’s Bettergoods Belgian potato puree in the style of Belgian style love
When I opened the bag, I found small rectangular blocks that resembled Jenga. I was fascinated because I had never seen potatoes in block before. I didn’t think much about it at first, but in retrospect it is a smart way to pack it. With the smaller blocks you can use as much or as little as you want without committed to a huge brick made of potato puree, which would take forever that he would cook in the microwave unevenly.
The instructions were short, but not exactly intuitive. Step one asks you to put 250 grams of the frozen potato blocks in a microwave -safe bowl and cover it. I appreciate the accuracy and alluding to the metric system – finally Belgium uses grams – but I doubt that most home chefs want to pull out a kitchen scale, especially since frozen microwave -controllable food implies that minimal to no exertion is required. Since the box is about 600 grams, I valued and used a little below half of the package, about 250 to 300 grams.
From there, the process was uncomplicated: Mix the microwave for three minutes, two tablespoons of milk (or water) and then a microwave for three minutes. To my surprise, mixing was incredibly easy – the potatoes came together with a texture that reminded me of cream cheese sugar effusion. Just a tip: try not to smear the mixture on the sides of the bowl, as a bit dry out there in the long microwave intervals.
The very first spoon convinced me. These potato puree delivered a rich, butter -like taste that immediately reminded me of a freshly baked croissant. After a few bite, the creaminess reminded me of butter -like cookies – decadent, but not overwhelming.
What noticed the most was the balance: more butter than American potato puree, but not almost as difficult as the French style. They were also perfectly seasoned. The subtle pepper notes attracted my attention, but there were no black spots in sight. A look at the list of ingredients solved the secret – white pepper. This tiny detail gave the potato depth and kept the smooth golden look.
I may not be on a plane to Belgium so quickly, but thanks to these Betongoods Belgian potato potatoes, I know that my next trip to Walmarts will be frozen.
