BLACKFOOT, IDAHO – Teton Valley Ranch, one of the nation’s leading potato growers and innovators, have created the world’s first microwaveable frozen baked potato product that delivers the delicious flavor, fluffy texture and ease that busy families want from a potato side dish and recipe staple.
An alternative to traditional potato sides like tots, fries and casseroles, Quicksides are a fast, easy to prepare, delicious and nutritious side dish complete with popular toppings and ingredients. Until now, the potato industry has yet to produce a microwaveable product that delivers the taste and fluffiness of a real baked potato. The secret to Quicksides’ real baked potato flavor and texture is in its patented quick-freeze process.
“We found that families are looking for more ways to incorporate baked potatoes into their meals, but often avoid baking them because they take a while to prepare,” said Robert Weis, Marketing Director for Teton Valley Ranch.“Quicksides provide home cooks with a quick and easy side dish and new way of making their favorite potato-based recipes just as delicious as the traditional way, but with a lot less time and effort.”
Quicksides are best prepared in the microwave, on high for 8 to 10 minutes. When the sauce is melted and the potatoes are heated through, simply fluff with a fork and serve. When incorporating Quicksides into any baked potato-based recipe, Quicksides can be cooked in a conventional oven adding instant flavor, speed and convenience to the preparation and cooking process.
Consumers in the Phoenix area and in select stores nationwide can choose from a variety of flavor profiles including Chipotle Cheddar, Sour Cream and Chives, Broccoli Cheddar, Bacon Cheddar and Loaded.
