Tasteful Selections® Introducing Potatoes Your Way™ at IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show

Tasteful Selections®, a specialty potato brand from RPE LLC, continues to innovate to stay ahead of the evolving needs of retailers and consumers by introducing its new product, Potatoes Your Way™.

Recognizing that consumers search for potato-cooking solutions and recipe inspiration an average of 6,600 times each month, this product addresses a critical need for simplicity in the kitchen.

Potatoes Your Way offers a hassle-free cooking experience, presenting 16 oz. of fresh Honey Gold® potatoes paired with carefully crafted seasoning, all packaged in a sustainable fiber tray. This innovative offering combines consumer insights with culinary trends, providing value and convenience at a competitive price point.

Available in Garlic Parsley (a delightful combination of savory garlic, and parsley) and Zesty Italian Herb (a vibrant, rustic herb mix with a hint of red pepper warmth).

From crispy air fryer creations to quick microwave solutions and creamy mashed potatoes to flawlessly roasted, the possibilities are endless. The multi-purpose, recyclable, and compostable tray can be used for microwaving, cutting, prepping, and presenting the potatoes.

Rachel Atkinson-Leach, Vice President of Brand & Category Excellence:
 

"After overcoming pandemic-related hurdles and prioritizing the availability of potatoes on supermarket shelves, RPE has reinvigorated its dedication to innovation."

"Our team at RPE has conducted extensive culinary and consumer research to explore the optimal potato preparation methods and identify seasonings that offer a flavorful experience, ultimately delivering a blend of taste, convenience, and variety."

Industry research shows consumers crave potatoes that are convenient, easy to cook, and available in smaller portions, with access to recipe ideas. At home, preferences lean towards mashed, baked, and roasted varieties. Understanding these preferences, the RPE team focused on extensive culinary and consumer research.

Potatoes Your Way will be available in limited release starting October 2023, with full-scale availability slated for January 2024. However, we will be showcasing Potatoes Your Way at the IFPA show in Anaheim October 20-21; come visit us at booth #1463 and sample YOUR way.
