Costco Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving
Costco has tons of great holiday meal options, like these housemade fresh Costco sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite meal of the year, and we love hosting…but it’s SO MUCH WORK. If you’re like me, then you’re looking for an easy shortcut (or three) for some Thanksgiving Dinner sides – cue the Kirkland Signature Mashed Sweet Potatoes from the Costco deli. These are a fan favorite, easy to prepare, made with simple ingredients and taste delicious! Much easier than peeling and mashing and cleaning up after it all! Plus, no price increase for 2024!
These are fully mashed and prepped, with added pats of butter on top (you can remove if you’re aiming for a lower fat option), and you just heat and serve them! They are nicely sweetened with brown sugar, not overly sweet, but definitely sweet! Costco also offers premade traditional yukon gold mashed potatoes.
Although these Costco sweet potatoes aren’t labeled gluten free, from our reading of the ingredients, we think these are suitable for a gluten free diet. Please always check that yourself though!! Your store could make them different, recipes change, etc! Vegetarian friendly (not vegan).
My Review
Sometimes prepared foods are made with all sorts of stuff that I would never use at home – and sometimes food is made exactly how I’d make them at home. The latter are the ones I love to buy – and these are SUPER simple ingredients (see below) – they’re basically just what I would use at home but without peeling and dicing and mashing. If you’re looking to outsource a few parts of your meal prep, I think these are a good one! Recommend!
Heat & Serve
I usually transfer them to a ceramic serving dish and microwave them or bake them for a bit. They’re fully prepared, so any way you prefer to heat them up will work just fine. I serve them exactly as they come, but they can definitely make a great shortcut as a premade base and doctor them up, make a souffle or add marshmallows to make a casserole.
Microwave Cooking Instructions: Remove plastic lid, cover with food wrap and heat on high for 8 minutes. Remove and stir butter pats into potatoes. Heat for additional 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
Do not put the container in the oven! It’s microwave safe but not oven 🙂
Costco Sweet Potatoes Price & Item Number
Kirkland Signature Housemade Deli Mashed Sweet Potatoes are Costco item Number 14272 and cost $2.49 per pound. Same price as the last two years, no inflation on these, yay!
Each package is about 5 lbs and will cost around $12-$13 total.
Last Price Check: 11/18/2024
From the date they are packed on in the deli, they have a sell by of about 6 days. I would expect they’d stay good a few days longer if fully heated to 165 before eating them, but that’s up to you to decide on 🙂
Ingredients
Sweet potatoes, whole milk, brown sugar, butter (sweet cream, salt), salt, spices, nisin preparation.
Where to Find Them
You’ll spot these in the open refrigerated cases near the deli area inside Costco. They hit stores each year in advance of Thanksgiving around half way through November – look out for them to hit stores around Nov 16-18 ish.
