FoodTrust - Connections

Breakfast, you can’t get through the day without it. What makes a perfect breakfast? Well, for me it’s bacon, eggs, and pan fries (cooked on the grill pan on the barbecue and eaten outside, but that’s beside the point).

To make pan fries I usually use small precooked (boiled) potatoes. But we don’t always have boiled potato leftovers, so most of the time I am out of luck. But not anymore!

One of the products in FoodTrust’s new line of fully-cooked potatoes is diced potatoes. Just open the package, drain, and dump them into the frying pan (or barbecue grill pan). In a few minutes you’ll have golden brown pan fries to go with the bacon and eggs.

Here is a great recipe for pan fries called Breakfast Combo.

Another time saving use I’ve found (well, my wife actually) for these potatoes is to use them in soups and chowders where cut potatoes are required. My wife makes a terrific seafood chowder, and the last couple have used FoodTrust Diced Potatoes. She finds it so much easier. She doesn’t have to cook and cut up a pot full of potatoes. She just opens the package and dumps the potatoes into the chowder about 5 to 10 minutes before it’s ready to serve.

It’s not too late for potato salad, I hope! So next time I’ll tell you about FoodTrust’s fully cooked potato quarters.
