McCain Foods has launched Brew City Beer Battered Potato Waves in the United States and Canada. The specially shaped potatoes provide chefs and restaurant operators with an attractive side dish menu option without adding significant labor or kitchen costs.
Brew City Beer Battered Potato Waves deliver a crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy interior bringing hand-crafted appeal and standout texture to the plate. The product’s bold shape, crunch and versatile flavor profile makes it an appealing alternative to french fries across casual dining eateries, pubs and restaurants.
“Global food trends continue to prove that potatoes of all forms are ubiquitous with sides, but today’s consumers are signaling it’s time to go beyond the basics with new flavors, textures and shapes. This demand means chefs need a reliable yet versatile option to seamlessly integrate into culinary creativity without sacrificing precious prep time or breaking budgets,” said McCain Director of Culinary Chef Mark Slutzky.
He added that the light and crispy wave-shaped potatoes not only strike a balance between upscale dining and a classic fast food favorite, but can serve as a foundation for creativity like a kicked-up side dish or as a base for trying out the next global flavor trend such as a loaded poutine or unexpected take on nachos.
“Our team of chefs and culinary advisors are constantly on the hunt for ways to deliver a wow factor experience that is accessible for all our guests,” said Cooper’s Hawk Chief Culinary Officer Mark McMillin. “McCain Brew City Beer Battered Potato Waves are the perfect example of how the company partners with operators like us to deliver on guest’s expectations while keeping our margins in mind.”
