Basic American Foods
(USA) – Mashed Potatoes, Premium Hashbrown Potatoes |
Who doesn’t know Basic
American Foods! Ask any
American – Chef or
otherwise.
The largest manufacturer of
dehydrated potatoes and
Known as the pioneer that
perfected potato
dehydration, Basic American
Foods is constantly
exploring new ways to help
make operators' jobs easier.
Its focus on foodservice
puts operators' needs first,
and fuels the commitment to
finding impactful solutions
for their success.
In
1933, brothers Jack and Bill
Hume set up a modest
dehydration processing plant
in Vacaville, California,
using a technology that was
later applied to potatoes.
This was the beginning of
Basic American Foods.
In the mid-fifties, Basic
American Foods established a
potato processing plant in
Blackfoot, Idaho, where the
first instant potato product
that could be rehydrated
with boiling water was
developed. This led to a
series of innovative potato
products for the foodservice
industry that includes the
brands Potato Pearls®,
Potato Pearls EXCEL®,
and Nature's Own®
Potato Pearls®
Premium Mashed Potatoes,
Redi-Shred®,
Golden Grill®,
and Golden Grill®
Russet™ Premium
Hashbrowns, and Classic
Casserole®
Scalloped and Au Gratin
Potatoes. As the company
grew, additional plants were
built in Idaho and in other
prime potato growing areas
like Wisconsin and
Washington.
We now offer two great
products from BAF – Mashed
Potatoes and Hashbrowns.
Unlike other potato products
in the market, these do not
require cold storage and can
be kept at room temperature.
What’s more the mashed
potatoes and hash browns are
quite unique from what
exists in the Indian market.
For example, the hash browns
are not single pieces but to
be baked in a tray in an
oven (not fried), and the
guests can be served
portions from the tray, as
they require. Personally, I
find the aroma
irresistible!
Some information and
serving suggestions are
below. Please ask us for
