Ingredients

Instructions

Yields

  • Potato (unpeeled, cooked): 99%

Pre-Preparation

  1. Wash potatoes using a vegetable scrub brush to remove dirt.
  2. Cut potatoes into even-size pieces for even cooking: most potatoes will be cut into quarters but larger potatoes may be cut into 6-8 pieces.

Preparation

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

    1. Transfer potatoes to 2-inch hotel pans (12.5 lbs per pan = 50 servings) and cool according to HACCP procedures. 
    2. Wrap with parchment and foil, label, and date. Keep refrigerated at or below 41°F through transport.
    3. Reheat by baking pans while keeping covered in 325°F oven for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
    4. Hold hot until service at or above 135°F.

We recommend that any recipe selected for use in your district be tested in your kitchens before adding it to your menu. Recipe testing ensures that the methods and yields are compatible when prepared with your equipment. 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.
