Can Serving Two Types Of Potatoes Help My Overall Food Cost At Breakfast?

Can Serving Two Types Of Potatoes Help My Overall Food Cost At Breakfast?

Answer

Excellent question. The answer is that anytime you take a relatively economical menu item, such as hash brown shred potatoes and add in another version that’s extremely popular with guests too you potentially have a double winner.

Check out this side dish at Pine State Biscuits in Portland. Filling, crispy potatoes served golden brown. A full order is $4, a ½ order is $2.

For the second breakfast potatoes selection, why not make it an entrée such as shown at 24 Diner in Austin: https://idahopotato.com/recipes/24-diners-24-hash
