Instructions

Yields

  • Potatoes, cooked, unpeeled: 97%

Pre-Preparation

  1. Wash the potatoes well using a vegetable brush to remove all dirt (the potatoes will not be peeled, so they must be clean).
  2. Cut potatoes into even-size pieces for even cooking. Most potatoes will be quartered; larger potatoes may be cut into six or eight pieces.

Preparation

  1. Fill a large pot with cold water.
  2. Add potatoes and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce to a low boil and cook until tender but not falling apart and a knife can pierce through.
  4. While potatoes cook, heat the milk with the butter, salt, and pepper just to a simmer; do not boil.
  5. Drain the potatoes well.
  6. Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the potatoes on low speed until mashed.
  7. Add the hot milk mixture in batches, mixing on medium speed to combine and reach the desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, or hold hot until service at 135°F or higher.
  9. If preparing ahead or sending out

    1. Transfer potatoes to 2-inch hotel pans (12.5 lb per pan = 50 servings) and cool according to HACCP SOP. 
    2. Wrap with parchment and foil, label, and date. Keep refrigerated until transport or service.
    3. To reheat, bake pans in a 325°F oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    4. Hold hot until service at 135°F or higher.

Since seasonings are particularly affected by scaling recipes, we highly recommend taste testing as you adjust quantities.

Menu Development

When we change from ready-to-heat foods to fresh foods in the context of menu planning, letting go of prior presumptions is important. Determining the amount of choices and how many per each age group are examples of menu planning challenges. Efficient, fiscally sustainable scratch-cooking programs are reducing choices in favor of fresh flavors.

Management

Management is a general term for all of the areas we include here: fiscal, human resources, facilities, assessment, and wellness policies. In order for a district’s food service department to be successful, the director has to be adept in a vast array of subjects.

Procurement

Procurement is one of the most complex processes that happen within our food service departments. In the event of shifting a program from using processed, ready-to-heat foods to scratch cooked recipes, many processes change.
