Convenient Potato Sides

The Little Potato Company's Easy Sides are Fully Cooked and Pre-Seasoned

— October 19, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Little Potato Company newly launched a range of potato sides as a quick heat-and-eat option that can be prepared in seven minutes. The fully cooked and pre-seasoned Creamer potatoes are available in varieties like Onion and Garlic, Sea Salt and Black Pepper, Paprika and Bell Pepper, and Sweet Bell and Onion, which cater to consumers who are looking for meals that are as convenient as they are nourishing.

The Easy Sides are prepared by being slow-cooked sous-vide style with natural spices, which means that they only need to be heated in a skillet until crispy before they're ready to be enjoyed. Richard Vann, Vice President of Marketing and Product Innovation at The Little Potato Company, says "Through our consumer research, we discovered that one of the biggest pain points when it comes to eating potatoes is that they are too time-consuming and complicated to prepare, so we've taken the complication out."
