D.E.A.L. (Deal for Education and Learning) of the Week!
The Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) realizes that costing out a menu is no easy task.
So, they've developed a number of useful tools to take the guesswork out of purchasing the right Idaho® potato. From carton to plate, chefs can rely on the IPC Size Guide, Virtual Plate Sizing Guide (compares plate coverage of 50-count, 60-count and 70-count potatoes), and handy Cost per Serving chart to specify the perfect Idaho® potato for their needs.
To  order copies of the Size Guide, Virtual Plate Sizing Guide, and/or Cost Per Serving chart for the classroom, email the Idaho Potato Commission at jvail@potato.idaho.gov, or call 208-334-2350. The IPC will fulfill the first 50 requests (maximum 25 packets per instructor), so act quickly to receive these valuable materials.
