While prepping fresh potato skins for appetizers is always an option, operators with limited space and staff can select from a variety of processed Idaho® potato skins available from suppliers. Processed Idaho® potato skins can be customized to fit any menu or occasion. Signature toppings include sautéed vegetables, cheese, meats or poultry and chili. Garnishes range from gravy to pizza or taco toppings. Generate additional interest and participation with a do-it-yourself Idaho® potato skin bar that allows customers to mix and match toppings.

About the Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous “Grown in Idaho®” seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho’s growing season of warm days and cool nights, ample mountain–fed irrigation and rich volcanic soil, give Idaho® potatoes their unique texture, taste and dependable performance. These ideal growing conditions are what differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states. For more information, visit: www.idahopotato.com.
