Premium Performance from Farm to Freezer
Not all frozen potatoes are created equal. U.S. growers know that higher quality potatoes mean higher profits. That’s why they use precise processing standards to ensure each potato starts with high solids and low sugars, so you can cut prep time, operational costs, and count on premium appearance, taste, and texture across all U.S. frozen products. U.S. frozen potato products stand out from the competition, providing superior quality and greater profits you can rely on with every case you purchase.
U.S. frozen potatoes come in a large variety of value-added forms suitable for any cuisine. Potatoes USA also partners with you to provide training and marketing support to maximize sales and profits.
Quality starts with premium U.S. grown potatoes, the result of ideal growing temperatures, rich soil and generations of grower expertise. U.S. potatoes destined for processing must meet stringent standards for high “solids” and low sugar content – just right for creating frozen potato products with a desirable appearance, taste and texture.
U.S. processors use state-of-the-art technology to meet high industry standards. The finished product is instantly quick-frozen to lock in the flavor and nutrients of fresh potatoes. (To learn more about how modern technology for frozen food maintains fresh-picked nutrition click here).
U.S. frozen potatoes are never out of season. Thanks to plentiful harvests year-round, along with our pioneering processing and packaging technologies that lock in freshness, remove defects, and maintain product integrity, you can always count on supply, quality, and consistency.
To ensure food safety, every U.S. potato processor meets stringent requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The quality of the final frozen product is further assured by government standards. The United States is the only country in the world with mandatory USDA Grading Standards for frozen potatoes.
U.S. frozen potato products start from 100% U.S. fresh potatoes. Starting fresh not only creates more profitable solutions for kitchens, but also generates more sales for you.
U.S. frozen potatoes are the best value around. U.S. frozen fries are made from premium Russet potatoes, grown to just the right size to yield a high percentage of longer fries. In fact, U.S. potatoes produce longer fries than any competitor, resulting in more servings and greater profits.
Extra servings are only part of the savings. The high solids/low moisture content of U.S. frozen potatoes conserves costly fryer oil. You can reduce labor costs as well, by taking advantage of frozen convenience to reduce staff prep time. Finally, U.S. frozen potatoes have the appealing color, fluffy texture and rich potato flavor that consumers will come back for again and again.
The wide array of U.S. products helps build sales too. In most restaurants the fry station is one of the most profitable parts of the store. University research has demonstrated that adding a second potato item increases total potato sales from 20 to 40 percent as shown by foodservice research.
The wide variety of U.S. frozen potato products can help you meet the challenge of providing your customers with healthy, convenient, globally-inspired menus and products. U.S. frozen processors offer menu-enhancing products appropriate for all occasions— breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacking.
Profit-enhancing straight fries are only the beginning. From specialty cuts ideal as a modern ingredient in creative meals — U.S. processors offer a product to suit your needs.
As the originators of the frozen fry, the U.S. is continuing to invent new cuts and formats for fry fans around the world. Discover the shape, size, and style of U.S. frozen potato that’s just right for your operation—and learn how to create unique dishes for your menu with the culinary development support provided by Potatoes USA.
