Potatoes are the classic comfort food – hearty, nourishing, and filling. You can dress them up with lots of seasonings and flavors or keep it simple with some butter and sea salt. Versatile and delicious, they can be used for a variety of cuisines, dayparts, and menu formats. Even better, speed-scratch potatoes can help chefs reap even more benefits by providing premium quality while reducing time, labor, and costs.

It’s not surprising that potatoes are a favorite in many types of global cuisines, from Thai to Swiss to Indian; and using speed-scratch potatoes can cut back on time and labor in the kitchen when preparing these diverse cuisines. Fresh-Dried™ potatoes come in many forms – ranging from the mashed category to hash browns, tater appetizers, and casseroles. They really are a blank canvas for chefs to build upon.

Try using full-fat coconut milk to rehydrate speed-scratch potato slices for curry dishes. The extra punch of vegetables with the creaminess of coconut milk will leave your guests feeling warm and satisfied. To create a refreshing side, build up Thai Potato Salads with Fresh-Dried™ hash browns, veggies, and spicy peanut sauce.

Swiss Rosti is a classic European breakfast choice; try pan frying hash browns to form a crispy outer layer. Then, build up with eggs in any style! Fresh-Dried™ hash browns are an easy swap to quicken the prep time and create a dish that’s every bit as delicious.

Speed-scratch mashed potatoes are always the perfect base. Try working them into Indian dishes as Aloo Bharta. Mix in ingredients like mustard oil, chopped onion, spicy chiles, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper to create an easy side for meat and fish.

Using Fresh-Dried™ potatoes is a great swap to cut back on time and labor without compromising on quality; allowing you to serve up dishes with scratch-like flavor and texture, every time.
