If you’re responsible for bringing a side dish to Thanksgiving this year but don’t feel confident cooking or are simply too busy to make something from scratch — Costco has you covered. The warehouse store just added a popular fan-favorite to its premade food section: loaded mashed potatoes.

This year, you can take a shortcut in the kitchen and still supply your loved ones with a comforting dish. Posted by a popular Instagram creator who details the most popular items at Costco, @costcohotfinds spotted pans filled with loaded mashed potatoes in the warehouse store’s premade food section. 

The loaded mashed potatoes from Costco come in an aluminum pan — which is convenient when it’s time to heat them up — and are sold for about $12 per 3-and-a-half-pound serving. The creamy potatoes have cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic, and parsley sprinkled on top. 

One person commented on the Instagram post spotlighting these popular mashed potatoes, saying, “YESSSSSS!!!!!! Finally!!!!! These are by far my favorite, and I have been waiting!!!” While another shopper called out, “They need to have them all year long!!”

Unfortunately, these loaded mashed potatoes are limited edition, so if you have your eyes on them, you’ll want to grab a pan sooner rather than later. If you’re looking for more sides to bring to your holiday festivities this season, visit Costco and get its ready-to-heat macaroni and cheese or sweet potatoes. Or just grab their entire kit, which comes with all the Thanksgiving fixings you need to host a dinner.
