Potatoes are #1 Food Eaten for Dinner at Restaurants

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

POTATOES ARE TOP FOOD EATEN AT DINNER

Denver, Colorado. Never underestimate the power of potatoes to add contemporary excitement to your menu and drive sales. The 2014 U.S. Potato Board Segmentation Study, an online survey of 3,000 American consumers, shows that potatoes are the number one food eaten for dinner at restaurants, outranking poultry, salads, pizza and other vegetables. The report also found that when consumers consider what to order when dining out, they prioritize value, flavor and freshness most, indicating that potatoes align well with these attributes. Furthermore, consumers are unlikely to order a substitute food if potatoes are not available, which proves the demand consumers have for this versatile vegetable.
