Kirkland Signature housemade deli mashed sweet potatoes made with simple, wholesome ingredients including sweet potatoes, whole milk, brown sugar, butter, salt, and spices. These fully prepared, ready-to-heat sweet potatoes are nicely sweetened with brown sugar without being overly sweet, and come with pats of butter on top that can be removed for a lower fat option. Simply microwave or bake to heat through and serve. Each 5-pound container serves approximately 10-12 people and is particularly popular during Thanksgiving and holiday meals. The product contains nisin preparation as a preservative and is suitable for vegetarian diets but not vegan. Heating instructions: Remove plastic lid, cover with food wrap, and heat on high for 8 minutes, then remove and stir butter into potatoes, and heat for an additional 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
