Nobody enjoys a time-saving discovery more than I do, so I was quick to scoop up a package of ready-to-eat diced potatoes at Bel Air Market last week. The potatoes are made by Earth Exotics, which sells nine ready-to-eat products; the others are sliced carrots, green kidney beans, lentils, diced red beets, red kidney beans, sliced potatoes, sweet corn and white kidney beans. They come in 8-ounce vacuum packages and cost $2.89.
