Green Giant Potatoes, Idaho

Green Giant Idaho Potatoes are the quintessential American staple, known for their versatility and hearty flavor. These potatoes are grown in the rich volcanic soil of Idaho, giving them a distinctive texture and taste that sets them apart. With their high starch content, they're perfect for baking, mashing, frying, and roasting. Imagine biting into a perfectly baked Idaho potato, its fluffy interior melting in your mouth, topped with butter, sour cream, chives, and crispy bacon. Or picture a creamy, smooth mashed potato side dish, seasoned to perfection with garlic, herbs, and a touch of cream. These potatoes are not just for classic American dishes. They can also be incorporated into Caribbean, Latin, Asian, and African cuisines. In the Caribbean, they can be boiled and added to stews or curries. In Latin America, they can be used in potato salads or as a filling for empanadas. In Asian cuisine, they can be stir-fried or added to soups. And in African cuisine, they can be mashed with plantains or used in groundnut stews. Idaho potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. They are also naturally low in fat and cholesterol. To store, keep them in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them near onions, as this can cause them to sprout prematurely. When preparing, wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly before cooking. For baking, pierce the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. For mashing, boil until tender and then mash with your favorite ingredients. Customers love these potatoes because of their consistent quality, reliable texture, and ability to be used in a wide variety of dishes. They are a pantry staple that every home cook should have on hand.
