The foodservice scene is dynamic. At Idahoan®, we understand that operator needs are complex and ever-changing. Here are three ways that incorporating Idahoan speed-scratch potato ingredients will help your operation to shine while keeping customers satisfied.

1. Labor Saving: Restaurant labor shortages have been prevalent throughout 2022, and a majority of operators expect the trend to continue into 20231. Luckily, Idahoan potatoes step up to help out when operators are working with a smaller staff than ever before. Fresh-Dried™ Idahoan potatoes make it simple to deliver the taste that guests crave in minutes, reducing the amount of time and labor needed to perfect each individual dish. Ingredients such as Idahoan Shreds can be refreshed ahead of time and refrigerated until browned or fried, so operators can confidently run their back-of-house with fewer staff onsite. Furthermore, Fresh-Dried™ ingredients like Idahoan potatoes can be prepared quickly, allowing for scratch-quality meals without overextending limited kitchen staff.
2. Cost Effective: Speed-scratch ingredients like Idahoan potatoes provide operators with cost-saving potential that cannot be ignored. Shelf-stable for up to 12 months until prepared, Fresh-Dried™ Idahoan potatoes do not require any of the valuable refrigeration space of their frozen or fresh counterparts. Even better, freshly prepared or leftover Idahoan potatoes – from shreds, to slices, to mashed potatoes, and flakes – can be used across a myriad of dishes, helping operators cut down on waste.
3. Consistent & Customizable: It’s important to strike a balance between offering customizable dishes and menu staples that satisfy the masses. With assorted flavors and endless topping or mix-in combinations, Idahoan potatoes are a craveable canvas for culinary creativity and customization. The versatility of products such as Idahoan® Tater Tumblers® provides operators with endless combinations during breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a fraction of the time; mix in fresh or leftover ingredients to create an array of tater concepts for any meal. Even with all the creativity, there is no loss of consistency – Idahoan’s® proprietary cooking method results in perfect dishes that look and taste the same every time.
