In the Kitchen with Chef Richard Hoelzel: The Prosciutto & Arugula Twitch

Share This Post

At Idahoan® Foodservice, we’re always experimenting with new and innovative recipes. Introducing one of our favorite culinary masterpieces from our very own Chef Richard Hoelzel – the Prosciutto & Arugula Twitch. This delectable dish is a mouth-watering combination of savory prosciutto and peppery arugula that’s sandwiched between crispy Idahoan® SHREDS Tater Tumblers® Original Mix with Spices and is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

The recipe starts with Idahoan’s signature Tater Tumblers®, which are refreshed, pressed, and crisped to provide the perfect gluten-free bread replacement. Thin slices of prosciutto are then delicately layered on top, infusing the dish with a rich, savory flavor that perfectly complements the crunchy potatoes. To add a refreshing and zesty touch, Chef Hoelzel crowns the dish with a generous helping of fresh arugula. The arugula’s distinctive peppery flavor and satisfying crunch create an exquisite balance that elevates the dish to a whole new level.

Chef Hoelzel notes, “our Prosciutto & Arugula Twitch recipe is a great example of how you can elevate classic flavors into a memorable culinary experience.”

One of the most impressive aspects of the Prosciutto & Arugula Twitch is its versatility. Whether it’s served as a shareable appetizer or as a main course, it’s guaranteed to impress. A great option for busy operations, Idahoan Tater Tumblers® can be prepped quickly and scaled easily.

But the real beauty of Chef Hoelzel’s twitch recipes lie in their simplicity. Highly customizable, they allow operators to add their own unique twist with a range of toppings, fillings, spreads, or sauces. Made according to a recipe or with ingredients that are already on hand – Idahoan Tater Tumblers® provide an easy and exciting swap for any sandwich.

“I love utilizing our Tater Tumblers® as an ingredient to create unique and exciting dishes,” says Hoelzel. “Their versatility allows for endless possibilities in the kitchen – and turning them into a crispy bread alternative in your most popular sandwiches is one of my favorite ways to use them.”

The Prosciutto & Arugula Twitch is a delicious and easy-to-prepare recipe that’s sure to please any palate. Its unique combination of flavors and textures make it a standout dish that’s perfect for any occasion. We’re thrilled to share this recipe with our operators and can’t wait for them to serve it to their guests.
