As the seasons change, so do operator’s menus as they pivot towards creative seasonal offerings. With football season in full swing, it’s time to think of original ways to chow down with gametime guests. Limited time offerings (LTOs) are the perfect way to re-vamp classics while keeping crowds entertained.

Speed-scratch Idahoan® potatoes are consistently available, easy to prepare, and endlessly versatile – ready to be delivered to guests in new and exciting ways, time and time again. While LTOs can be time and resource intensive, using Fresh-Dried™ Idahoan potatoes as a base allows operators to cut back on labor – making it easy to deliver quality and delicious flavor with ease. As a blank canvas, Idahoan potatoes can be used across multiple dishes and effortlessly transformed into seasonal offerings using on-hand ingredients and leftovers.

Idahoan SHREDS Tater Tumblers® Original Mix with Spices are the perfect option to serve as the base for this fall’s LTOs. Easily customized with mix-ins, toppings, and sauces, Tater Tumblers® can be prepared in a variety of ways – serve them as traditional bite-sized offerings, potato patties, or even gluten-free bread replacements. Combining them with seasonal flavors such as sage can serve as the perfect crispy bite for a crowd, fully complete with a creamy dip on the side; and as we transition even closer to the holiday season, try combining a Tater Tumbler® base with stuffing and roast turkey. Any way you mix or top them, there are plenty of creative ways to incorporate Idahoan Tater Tumblers® onto seasonal LTO menus.

LTOs are a unique way to work creativity into menu offerings; but capitalizing them doesn’t need to be stressful. Using Fresh-Dried™ Idahoan potatoes as the base for appetizers and seasonal dishes is a cost-effective and efficient way to bring fun to guests’ tables. Better yet, Idahoan potatoes can be easily customized to the season by mixing and matching different ingredients, toppings, and garnishes – making them the perfect ingredient from which to build endless LTOs.
