The Roastables potato line was introduced in 2015 with the goal of being one of the most flavorful yet convenient ways to enjoy potatoes,”” said Kathleen Triou, president & CEO for Fresh Solutions Network. “”With Side Delights Roastables potatoes, consumers can add bold, unique seasonings sourced from around the globe to create healthy, delicious potatoes bursting with flavor!”
