Idahoan Slices Scalloped Potatoes 1.27 lb / 0.58 kg Per Pouch
Scalloped potatoes are a menu staple that guests expect to look and taste like they took hours but in foodservice, labour hours for a proper gratin are a luxury. Idahoan Slices Scalloped Potatoes deliver the classic layered scalloped result using dehydrated Idaho Russet slices and a pre-measured cream sauce mix, reducing preparation to under 10 minutes active time before the oven does the work.
Each 1.27 lb (0.58 kg) pouch contains the potato slices and sauce packet calibrated to fill a standard 2-inch half-hotel pan approximately 12–16 side-dish portions. The sauce hydrates during baking, producing a creamy, cohesive gratin with a lightly golden top.
Preparation Protocol
- Hydrate potato slices in hot water for 2 minutes; drain.
- Layer in greased hotel pan; mix sauce packet with milk per carton ratio; pour over slices.
- Bake uncovered at 190°C / 375°F for 25–30 minutes until sauce is bubbling and top is golden.
- Rest 5 minutes before portioning allows sauce to set for clean slicing.
Menu Positioning
- Holiday and seasonal menus: Scalloped potatoes anchor traditional plates for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas banquets.
- Comfort food programmes: Rotational cafeteria menus benefit from a classic gratin as a weekly comfort side.
- Up-sell potential: Plate presentation of layered scalloped potatoes supports higher menu price points vs. plain mash.
Amani's note: For a hybrid programme, combine Idahoan Slices Scalloped with Idahoan Creamy Classic Mashed (BC-16925) as a potato duo on catering menus one plated option, one family-style. Both share ambient storage, simplifying receiving and inventory management.
