Oct 31, 2018Robinson Fresh releases new line of ready-to-eat potatoes
A new potato line, the Perfect Potato, is now available from Robinson Fresh and Albert Bartlett. The product line features packaging that requires no prep work and is ready to heat and eat, the company said.
The Perfect Potato line includes bite-sized, pre-washed potatoes that come in three sizes — 1.5-pound pouches, 5-pound pouches and 1-pound microwaveable trays. The 1-pound microwaveable tray packs include seasoning pairings with each of the following potatoes:
- Radiant Red: red potatoes are paired with a Zesto Pesto spice packet, combining pesto with a pinch of Italian spices.
- Yummy Yellow: yellow potatoes are matched up with a Steakhouse Sizzle spice packet — a blend of salt, cracked pepper and traditional steakhouse flavors.
- Perfect Pair: red and yellow potatoes are paired with a packet of Little Italy seasoning, which includes garlic and Italian herbs.
- Marvelous Medley: red, yellow and purple potatoes are combined with a Hawaiian Red Sea Salt seasoning pack.
“Our potatoes are harvested with equipment specially made for bite-sized potatoes,” Steve Barker, vice president for Albert Bartlett, said. “Then, our processing equipment triple washes and dries them before they are packaged and sent to the stores, making them a perfect, go-to potato option. Carefully thought-out growing, harvesting and processing procedures, paired with complex logistics and supply plans, make for the perfect pairing.”
