FoodTrust - Connections

Naomi, Scott and I spent an afternoon a few weeks ago packaging up some samples of our Fully-Cooked Mashed Potatoes to send out to a bunch of moms who are members of urbanmoms.ca Go2Girlz across Canada.

“Our mission at urbanmoms.ca is to empower women to take control of the
messages directed to us and written about us. Therefore, all content on
urbanmoms.ca is written by urbanmoms.ca and our members - moms like you!“

The urbanmoms.ca Go2Girlz are members of the site that have signed up to
test new products. They agreed to conduct an independent test of our Mashed
Potatoes.

Their review was posted on their website today and we couldn’t be happier.
Katherine from Urbanmoms told us that “I can’t remember the last time our
panel was 100% unanimous in recommending a product - congratulations!”

Check out the taste panel reviews.

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.

This time I’ll tell you about our fresh petite peeled potatoes.  Like most of the potatoes in our fully cooked line they are very versatile.  They can be roasted in the oven (along with a pot roast – yum!), eaten as a boiled potato, or added to a salad.   Yup, very versatile! 

Preparation as a normal side dish takes only three minutes from the package to your plate.  They taste just like fresh boiled potatoes. 

If you want something different, you can add FoodTrust’s boiled potato seasoning.  Just steep a couple teaspoons in warm butter and drizzle the mixture over the potatoes.

Another great recipe for petite peeled potatoes is Rustic Potato Salad with Vegetables and Goat Cheese.  It’s a perfect companion to any family picnic. 

Next, get ready for breakfast!
