@occupational I’ve seen it at stop n shop, also in New England but when I went yesterday it was not there and hasn’t been. although I only looked in the precut section not in the whole veggie session

@occupational sorry just saw this! I'm in Ohio. But it in our whole vegetable section of grocery stores, i haven't found it pre-cut

@mallette thanks

Answer 2

I microwave in a bowl of water for 15 mins and then cook. Never really liked it so now I shredd it and make hash browns. Goes great with eggs. game changer for me

@occupational, thanks I guess I didn't microwave it long enough.  

Answer 3

How long did you microwave it? It usually microwave it for 5 minutes for 2 cups and 7 for 4 cups. It is then no longer crispy.

@navarre, 6 minutes with one cup of water.

@hyatt7852 don't put any water in with it. Just cut it up and microwave it. It has a lot of water in it and you will need to pat it dry before baking.

@navarre , ooooh, maybe that's why. Thank you.
