As the hospitality industry continues to be hit hard by labor shortages and the lingering effects of travel restrictions, hotel restaurant operators need every convenience they can manage. Take a look at some of the benefits that fresh-dried Idahoan® potatoes bring to the table during these challenging times.
1: Labor Saving
Hotel restaurant operators are continuing to feel the effects of labor shortages, making it increasingly difficult to keep their establishments staffed in both front and back of house. Operators are in need of ingredients and dishes that are efficient to make with a small staff more than ever before. That’s where Idahoan® can help. Fresh-dried Idahoan® potatoes make it simple for operators to deliver the taste that guests crave in a matter of minutes, reducing the amount of time and labor needed to perfect each individual dish. Ingredients such as Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes can even be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, meaning hotel restaurants can operate confidently with fewer staff onsite. With no need to peel, cut, boil, or mash, fresh-dried products like Idahoan® Mashed potatoes can be prepared in just minutes, allowing operators to offer scratch-quality meals without overextending their limited kitchen staff.
2: Convenient & Consistent
With speed-scratch convenience, Idahoan® potatoes afford operators perfect sides that look and taste the same every time. Idahoan’s® proprietary fresh-dried cooking method honors the integrity of the potato, offering the natural taste and texture of mashed potatoes and tater appetizers made from scratch while meeting the demands of today’s short-staffed kitchens; all while ensuring consistent flavor and texture so hotel restaurant operators don’t have to worry about employee turnover effecting the quality of their dishes. With simple prep that anyone can manage, products like Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes perform the same time and again, keeping your guests happy and coming back for more.
3: Cost Effective
Using speed-scratch ingredients like Idahoan® potatoes provides hotel restaurant operators with cost-saving conveniences that they just can’t ignore.

With different flavors and endless topping and mix-in combinations, Idahoan® potatoes are a craveable canvas for culinary creativity and customization. The versatility of products like Idahoan® Tater Tumblers® Appetizer Mix provides operators with endless combinations during breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a fraction of the time; mix in fresh and leftover ingredients to create an array of tater concepts for any meal.
