Eating Idaho® Potatoes Should Be An All-Day Affair

One of the best characteristics of Idaho potatoes is that they can be served all day, every day! Heat up the skillet and treat the family to Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos – the perfect way to start their day. Cheesy Potato Casserole feeds a village for lunch and comes together in no time. We recommend Grill-Braised Potatoes with Bibimbap Glaze for dinner, a Gamja Jorim-inspired side dish with loads of layered flavor that the Korean braised potato dish is known for and pairs well with any protein. Dessert? That’s easy… Malted Milkshake and Fries!

Ask Dr. Potato

Q: How do I thicken up watery mashed potatoes?

A: Break out the instant dehydrated potatoes and mix them into the wet potatoes a tablespoon at a time. If you don’t have any dehy potatoes handy, leave the potatoes on the stove longer, being careful to stir frequently. You can also place them in the oven at 325° F for 10 to 15 minutes to "dry" out the mixture.
