This past year, many kitchens have had to find ways to get more done, but with less staff—and without sacrificing flavor or quality. Many operators have discovered the labor-saving benefits of incorporating fresh-dried, speed-scratch mashed potatoes into their menus.

Here are four ways fresh-dried potatoes can save time and staffing in your kitchen:

1. There’s no need to store, carry, peel, chop, boil, or mash potatoes. Using fresh-dried mashed potatoes offers speed-scratch prep that takes just 30 seconds!
2. Creating a signature dish is as easy as adding your own unique mix-ins or toppings—and the variations are endless.
3. Leftover batches can be instantly refreshed with boiling water.
4. Plus, as a bonus, fresh-dried mashed potatoes are available in compact, shelf-stable packaging that saves valuable space in the pantry and the refrigerator—so you’re not spending time shuffling boxes to make room.

And, most importantly, customers will rave over the delicious, fresh-made flavor of your potato dishes. Fresh-dried mashed potatoes are the perfect labor-saving, back-of-house pantry hero. Make sure your kitchen is stocked.
