Anyone know if frozen baked potatoes are sold in the grocery stores here in the US

Asked Jul 14, 2012, 12:14 PM — 53 Answers
I sometimes do not have time to get home and put a potatoe in the oven for my hubby.

His favorite thing to go with his dinner is a baked potato

I see farmhouse makes frozen baked potatoes but they are located in the UK

Does anyone like oreida sell frozen baked potatoes in a bag at the store?

Thanks

The thread has now been closed, but I need to point out something here. At this site we try to provide solutions not just answers. Sometimes the question requires a deeper solution and we try to deal with that.

That was the case here. The fact that your husband is so finicky and controlling became the real problem. And it was a problem you raised and we tried to address.

I closed it since it all started to be fighting, reporting each other and so on.
I agree with Scott, if you really want to discuss the real issue, and for heavens sake a potato is not the problem here.

Log ago, I had a issue with a wife ( she is passed on now) but she fussed about the way I did dishes, I stopped doing dishes, she fussed about the way I did any laundry, I stopped helping with that. You know she fussed about it not being done and I told her, If I was going to be fussed at, may as well not do the work.

Response from my son who works for McCain:

"There was some internal article several months ago about it going well in the UK but I've yet to see any plans for it to be marketed to the US. I am guessing with the economy the way it is, people wouldn't want to pay a premium for a plain baked potato. It may also be the drought/potato shortage in the States, so maybe they don't want to use up raw materials for bakers when they could make more generally-profitable fries that everyone wants."

From my phone call to the company:

I would have to call the UK and talk to someone in Operations or Marketing, but am to be aware that proprietary information may be withheld. There are no plans to bring the baked potato product to the US, but if it does reach our shores, it will first appear and be sold at Sam's Club or other wholesale markets.
