While potato harvest has been happening since July in some parts of the country, Side Delights says the season’s freshest potatoes are now arriving in stores just as fall grilling heats up.

Side Delights says it offers a variety of fall-friendly, fresh and popular bagged and organic potatoes, as well as potato products such as Grillables grill-ready russet and sweetpotatoes that are pre-washed, foil-wrapped and ready to place directly on the grill.

Recently published nutritional charts highlight the benefits of eating fresh, seasonal produce at its peak when harvested for optimal taste and nutrient retention. For shoppers seeking vegetables in season this September, potatoes are a top pick, notes Side Delights.

“We love harvesting our Side Delights potatoes. Across the country in September, new spuds are arriving in the stores just in time for Labor Day weekend barbecues and picnics,” says Kathleen Triou, president and CEO of Fresh Solutions Network, supplier of Side Delights potatoes.

Giving shoppers another reason to stock up on spuds in September, potatoes also made the cut in a list of “15 Fruits and Vegetables That Taste Best — and Cost Less — in the Fall.”

“Side Delights potatoes are delicious and cost-effective. Shoppers can visit our recipe site for fall recipes such as Bubble & Squeak with Garlicky Mushrooms and Fried Egg for brunch, Chicken and Potato Fall Harvest Salad for lunch or dinner, and a Fall Harvest Mashed Potato Board to ‘surprise and delight’ at your next party,” Triou says.
