Viral Buzzs, Ever wished that you had fries as long as six inches? Now that Potatoes USA has made Instant Mash and other U.S. dehydrated potatoes available in the local market, you can “custom-make” your own potato fries.
Chef Vince Garcia of Rainforest Kitchen recently made Le’Garce Fritters with Tartare Sauce using Potatoes USA Instant Mash seasoned with Cajun spices.
He also made a creamy tartare sauce for the homemade six-inch fries. It also goes very well with many shapes and variants of U.S. Frozen Potatoes.
