Yeah, I had this exact brand a few years ago and it was actually decent for the price, it looked more like the packaging photo by the end than this monstrosity above. Gonna guess the mixing process had a brief moment of carelessness
Kroger brand stuff isnt bad, especially Private Selection stuff. I tried a lot of random store brand stuff when I worked there and still go back for certain things no matter what. And these days name brand stuff is so insane you gotta find a local or store brand you like on a lot of things.
I have 2 bags of this in my freezer right now. They don’t put a lot of veggies honestly, but Kroger sells frozen diced peppers and onions and I’ll put a whole bag in
I'd write and mail a letter of complaint. Every time in my life I've done that I've gotten a bunch of free stuff in return, either coupons (usually) or in some cases they ship me boxes of product. It's worth the effort and cathartic too.
I was making a large batch of vegan breakfast burritos for friends. So I tried to cut corners by buying the potatoes like this because the vegan sausage, tofu scramble, and cashew cheese sauce is pretty time consuming. I have to lol at people thinking I don’t know how to cook or I’m lazy.
The 14-ton vat that bag was filled from wasn't stirred very good that day, looks like. Somebody got a whole bag of bell peppers and 1 tiny potato square, probably. lol
And, DM'ing them thru there is the way to get a response. Not posting the same photos publicly on IG.
Most companies will respond with coupons and try to make things right if you don't publicly shame them.
Of course, if they don't respond, feel free to publicly shame them.
If op is in the us I wonder if the increase of these types of posts recently have to do with the government removing a ton of consumer protection regulations over the past few years.
Reminds me of cheap cans of pork n' beans back in the day... they'd get away with saying it had pork in it by including a lump of pig fat in with the beans.
The potato/pepper/onion mixes are so annoying for this they’re almost all like this. Makes me want to make my own mix, but it’s so easy to just throw these in the air fryer with a bag of Brussels sprouts and cut up chicken thighs or Johnsonville Italian sausage and some extra seasonings. Cook about 25 mins on 370 and stir every 8 mins. The easiest meal of your life and mad good.
While a whole lot of things have fallen off post covid and in our current economy quality control in the food manufacturing industry has completely collapsed. We're all paying way more for significantly less and im getting pickles that were made with rotten cucumbers n shit like that
That's Potatotes NO'Brien.
Potatoes O'Cryin'
Potatoes O'Lyin'
There's no onions though
It has the spirit of onions.
Potatoes Ø'Brien
LOL she looks really snarky. I don't mean it that way.

Not fuckin good enough, Colm!
Potatoes b'lien'
Potatoes Faux Brien.

is this not the single onion corresponding to the single green pepper?
People are just so ungrateful these days 😤
Are there no prisons? No workhouses?
Some would rather die? Then they better do it, and decrease the surplus population.

There's one more weeeeeeee lil guy hiding I THINK.....could just be a green potato lol
The spinoff from the chive guy is amazing!
Redditors getting too good at analyzing masses of boring food!
See you tomorrow chef
The oneion
Literally says “onions” plural, on the bag. Go back to find that second onion!!
Jealous of the person that gets that bite.
What have you actually circled here

Oh, are we all dumping Conan gifs?
the most important man in starfleet!
My favorite Paul Rudd movie
It's essenced with bell peppers and onions. Potatoes La Croix.
Reminds me of when we got a "pasta and broccoli" mix and it had one tiny piece of broccoli. The advertising is more and more ridiculous.
It didn't say "pasta and broccolis".
Damn, gotta watch those plurals!
Send a photo to the maker and ask him whether that's what's expected? I would expect you to get a refund and or a bucket of potatoes. Let us know.
Well they have the potatoes, Kroger needs to send them some onions and peppers.
This is Samwise Gamgee level of potatoes
Kroger Brand?
Looks like Kroger brand packaging to me. I don't know why they hide the manufacturer.
It’s Kroger, the symbol is just above where they cut the bag open in the middle
Yeah, I had this exact brand a few years ago and it was actually decent for the price, it looked more like the packaging photo by the end than this monstrosity above. Gonna guess the mixing process had a brief moment of carelessness

Yes
Potatoes B Lyin
Somebody fell asleep on the production line that night
My wife’s plate when I tell her she needs more vegetables
Its me. Im the one this bag was made for 🤣🤣🤣
See you tomorrow chef

Oops! All Potato!
This is the second post like this ive seen on reddit today. There must have been a bad batch released
Right? I couldn't tell if this was the original person, and they opened a second bag.
Wait wait wait I THINK I SEE A SECOND TINY BIT OF BELL PEPPER
Potatoes, no brien.
I think there’s one in there that looks like Conan
That’s like the same ratio of Ramen Noodles & the single fleck of green in the seasoning. ;)
Check out The Ramen Bae, you’ll never have sad ramen again
That's two bags O'Lies.
That's too much bell pepper for me
Potatoes o'lyin
I'd write and mail a letter of complaint. Every time in my life I've done that I've gotten a bunch of free stuff in return, either coupons (usually) or in some cases they ship me boxes of product. It's worth the effort and cathartic too.
That is the Costco Halloween candy assortment of Potatoes O'Brian
Or you know.... wild idea... buy 1 potato, 1 onion, 1 pepper... and you'll have more than that tasty for 1/4 of the price
I was making a large batch of vegan breakfast burritos for friends. So I tried to cut corners by buying the potatoes like this because the vegan sausage, tofu scramble, and cashew cheese sauce is pretty time consuming. I have to lol at people thinking I don’t know how to cook or I’m lazy.
I think it’s all potatoes This is highly infuriating.
It would have had me fuming
You have concepts of O'Brien
This was like where’s Waldo for the one pepper and onion
Tariffs are a bitch
The veg pulled an Irish goodbye.
Get me O’Brien on the phone RIGHT NOW!!!!
I just bought Walmart brand and had the opposite problem, it was mostly peppers and onions .
Walmart has a Great Value version of Potatoes Obrien that is really good and has a really nice mixture, you should try it next time. I really like it.
Do better Kroger
Damn that looks good tho
I once got a bag that was all onion, little peppers and no potatoes
Does it say in the ingredients what % bell peppers?
The 14-ton vat that bag was filled from wasn't stirred very good that day, looks like. Somebody got a whole bag of bell peppers and 1 tiny potato square, probably. lol
Brian sucks.
With nonions and peppersn't.
That is actually sad.
Welcome to Ireland!
You buy potatoes frozen in a bag! In the UK we get them from the ground
And they will continue to fall for the scam because 10 minutes to make your own from scratch is unfathomable.
But mostly potato
Does the company have an instagram account?
And, DM'ing them thru there is the way to get a response. Not posting the same photos publicly on IG.
Most companies will respond with coupons and try to make things right if you don't publicly shame them.
Of course, if they don't respond, feel free to publicly shame them.
Call or email the contact info on the back of the bag. You will most likely get some freebie stuff sent your way. :)
I see onions
clearly they’ve switched to white peppers
Second post ive seen about this exact issue now. Dang.
Not true. They is one tiny piece of onion on the bottom left. Still some bullshit.
Even more frustrating: I think I see one single green pepper at the top to the left.
Potatoes No'Brien
A lot of products are sold like that.
Second post about Obrien today. Someone screwed up at the factory
That’s DEFINITELY a quality control issue
one (or more people) .....Had One Job
Teleported away by Miles
Cut backs are real 😝
The enshittification accerlerates
"Made with" onions and peppers.
Sounds perfect! What is the problem? 🤔
I would be so mad
Half of that probably isn't even potatoes
Did you purchase them at a discount store? Thats where irregular items like this end up and is the reason they are so heavily discounted.
Potatoes "O'Brien Must Suffer"
More like potatoes oh brother
"Serving Suggestion. Onions and Peppers Not Included."
Kroger has done it again
If op is in the us I wonder if the increase of these types of posts recently have to do with the government removing a ton of consumer protection regulations over the past few years.
Might be cheaper to just chop stuff yourself at that point
Call CSI: MyOnion
More like Potatoes No Brien,
maybe if you put them in a cast iron skillet they’d show up better!!
Let’s be honest. Did you really want frozen onions and peppers. Takes 1min to dice them up.
just how O'Brien liked it
Even Great Value brand has more peppers and onions than that.
Quality Control has failed you. I'm sorry for your sad potatoes.
Must be lacrouix pepper and onion flavor
Are you the same poster I just saw that had no brien and only potatoes or is this a widespread thing?
Technically, u got twice the weight in potatoes, so did you really lose here? lol
Potatoes O'shrinkflation
“Potato’s O’Brien” was the nickname of the Irishman my husband and brother in law used to get drunk with

BROOO, thats sooo sad, theres even a little sad face in the potatoes bc they were all alone!!!!
(center of this picture, with a goatee, in case its hard to see)
sounds like win.
Oops! All potato
What were you planing to make with them OP?
One component of a large batch of vegan breakfast burritos
I’m sorry there doesn’t seem to be a problem
You can make a killer cheesey potato with this though
Please reach out to the manufacturer, they probably are entirely unaware of the problem.
Most of the time nobody says anything and odds are it's an intermittent issue.
Source: Am Engineer, nobody tells us anything is wrong until the place is literally on fire.
Where’s Waldo Pepper?
I had a piece of garlic toast Sunday that 95% of the parsley from the batch on there. It was comical.
Aren't onions cheaper than potatoes? Lol
There are a lot of products where the store brand will do, but for frozen potatoes you got to buy Ore Ida.
Mid-labeled
Oh, Brien.
Everything with “O’Brien” shall suffer
So bereft of color, they should be called potatoes Conan O’Brien.
Just Brien
I thought it was a giant Rice Krispy treat.
O’Brien accessories sold separately.
I should make this. I've got potatoes, onions, and peppers, all from the farmers market
Maybe the "with onions and peppers" part is meant more like alongside onions and peppers
Onions and peppers are listed in the ingredients next to the nutritional info
I read this thinking some Irish guy had the weirdest fuckin nickname
"Oh great here comes ol' two bags o' potatoes O'Brien again"
Reminds me of cheap cans of pork n' beans back in the day... they'd get away with saying it had pork in it by including a lump of pig fat in with the beans.
Anyways 10 bucks that ceo is spouting off about buying a five dollar coffee is why you can’t buy a house while he sucks off his share holders.
Perhaps it's a serving suggestion. "Cook these with some onion and green pepper!"
Earlier this year I got a half gallon of Bryers cookies and cream ice cream that did not contain a single cookie. It was just vanilla ice cream.
I love potatoes obrien and these ain't it!
Dicing Potatoes Until Reddit says they're good enough.
Day 1.
This cutoff is no good. Just do the regular frozen hash browns. Just make them.
That's what you get for buying those K.Roger taters.
Find the sniper
I guess I can't link to other subreddits here...
Id be stoked
I prefer potatoes O'Reilly. It's quite oily but gets the job done!
oops all potato

What is that though?
I spy with my little eye, less than 3 pieces of green on that entire sheet pan. Potatoes O'Brien it damn sure isn't.
onyoooooo?
Remember Hienz "Beans and Ham"? Can of beans with a single, solitary, small cube of ham.
Sure there isn’t a little plastic bag with those ingredients? They often come separately.
Never trust O'Brian, he's a sneaky bastard
The potato/pepper/onion mixes are so annoying for this they’re almost all like this. Makes me want to make my own mix, but it’s so easy to just throw these in the air fryer with a bag of Brussels sprouts and cut up chicken thighs or Johnsonville Italian sausage and some extra seasonings. Cook about 25 mins on 370 and stir every 8 mins. The easiest meal of your life and mad good.
This is just like my mixed veggies without carrots. In this economy, people need reliable frozen foods!
What do you expect, prepare your own fresh produce.
It does say 100% potatoes.
All potatoes and no O'Brien
It does say quite clearly on the bag, 100% real potatoes
I'll get Conan on the phone
I wish Potatoes O’Brien was still hosting the Tonight Show
While a whole lot of things have fallen off post covid and in our current economy quality control in the food manufacturing industry has completely collapsed. We're all paying way more for significantly less and im getting pickles that were made with rotten cucumbers n shit like that
A man who is made of 700 potato cubes, Potatoes O'Brien, is an outlier and should not be counted
Lol
I've had the opposite! All onions and peppers, no potatoes!
Omg I just bought this from Kroger and it’s in my freezer now! I gotta check that out
Let me know!
That's what you get by being a lazy person who can't buy fresh ingredients and COOK.
Brien be lyin’
