Righteous Russets

Wed., Feb. 24, 1999

What makes Purely Idaho Potatoes products so appealing? The lack of peeling.

The fresh, preservative-free russets from RF Burley in Burley, Idaho come peeled and precut into shreds perfect for frying into hash browns, or cubes ready for roasting in the oven. Partially cooked and vacuum packed, they have a shelf life of three weeks in the refrigerator.

Just think of it as spud-scratch cooking.

Price: $1.99 for 16 ounces.

Available: At area Albertson’s supermarkets.
