Fresh Solutions Network says new supporting data further shows potatoes are a popular pick for barbecues.
According to a study by Talker Research, published in June, Americans said they plan to attend an average of five barbecues this summer and host four, while 66% agreed that summer grilling season is their favorite time of year.
“Summer means BBQ and grilling, and Side Delights is ready to support with Grillables foil-wrapped, triple-washed russets, Steamables that cook in the microwave in eight minutes without heating up the kitchen for quick potato salad, or Petites in a foil grill pouch that cook alongside any meat or fish,” Kathleen Triou, president and CEO of Side Delights, said in a news release.
In the study, 60% of respondents ranked potato salad as their top go-to barbecue side dish, and 64% stated it’s a “faux pas” to arrive at a cookout empty-handed.
“In addition to being the leading choice for BBQ side dishes, potato salads are easy to make ahead and perfectly portable to bring to the host when invited to a cookout or any occasion,” Triou says.
Side Delights says it offers a variety of potato products for grilling season or any time of year.
