Whether you're hosting a dinner party or cooking for friends or family, the side dishes are just as important as the main dish. They're also another thing to prepare, which is why Costco sells prepared food items in bulk, giving you the option to go with store-bought to save time. Thankfully, there's one dish at Costco that's absolutely worth purchasing, and no one will care that it came from a container: Reser's Main Street Bistro Scalloped Potatoes.

While the best boxed scalloped potatoes are always an option, these scalloped potatoes from Costco are hard to beat. They're made with three cheeses (cheddar, parmesan, and Romano), plus 100% whole milk and no artificial flavors. This gives them that from-scratch flavor profile without any of the effort. They're ready within 25 minutes in the oven, and they bake right in the container. If you're in a pinch, you can even prep these in the microwave in about 12 minutes. The potatoes cost $8.96 for a 2 ½-pound container. If they don't sound appealing enough as is, the customer ratings pretty much guarantee these are worth the purchase.

This comforting dish can easily hold its own around the holiday table or any other major party, and Costco shoppers say there's a lot to love. Besides the flavor, one user wrote that the "leftovers reheat nicely in the microwave. I keep an extra box in the freezer. The quality does not suffer." Another person referred to them as "the best tasting scalloped potatoes I've ever had."

The potatoes have fewer than 20 reviews on Costco's website, though almost all of them are 5 stars. Two users did give the potatoes 1 star. One claimed there was a hair in the product, though there were no attached images to verify the claim. The other claimed the potatoes weren't cooked all the way through as they should have been, and were still raw. Still, the majority enjoy this side dish, with most reviews so positive you could probably get away with making these a Costco dish to grab when you're too tired to make dinner.
