Food Service Tips
-
Portion size in baked potatoes is key to customer satisfaction. 80-90
count sized portions (uncooked 9-10 ounces) make an attractive,
appetizing portion and is just the right size for most appetites.
Larger 50-70 count sized bakers (uncooked 12-16 ounce) are great for
higher end steakhouse or signature dishes (See sizing chart)
-
Russet
Burbanks are your best choice for the best tasting, best texture, most
culinary satisfying Russet variety of Idaho potatoes. Less water
content is the reason.
-
Number 2
grade potatoes are a great value for fresh fries, mashed potatoes, or
any application where the outward appearance of the potato is not an
issue for presentation.
-
Storage
temperature for potatoes used for fresh fries or hash browns should be
no lower than 50 degrees to prevent dark frying color.
-
Proper storage and preparation tips, potato
chemistry, and proper techniques for baking, frying, and boiling Idaho
potatoes are available on our "Fresh Potatoes on the Menu" food service
video.
