Celebrating National Potato Day is Easy
All you have to do is incorporate potatoes into every meal! And given that potatoes are one of the most popular veggies in America (a sentiment vehemently shared by the Rapids marketing team), it's almost assured that your customers will jump at the chance to consume more of this carb-filled delight.
Starch with the Most Popular Tater: French Fries
Slice Things Up!
The Nemco Easy Chopper III is a versatile prep tool designed to making chopping, slicing, and wedging user-friendly and fast. It has a 4-1/4 square inch cutting area so you can slice your potatoes into fries with minimal pre-cutting. The weight ergonomic handle and super-sharp blades let even your more inexperienced employees make French fries with ease. The no-slip rubber feet add stability, and the cast aluminum frame is lightweight but extremely durable.
Another do-it-yourself option is a medium-duty French Fry Cutter (configurations available for both 1/4" cuts and 3/8" cuts). These cutters are made from heavy-duty cast iron and are fitted with sharp stainless blades for even slicing. They can be table- or wall-mounted, and they cut potatoes up to 6"L.
Fry Those Taters!
Another way to set your fries above the competition's is by perfecting your fry time.
Conduct your timing experiments with a reliable fryer from Volition. This 35-40 single tank gas floor fryer has a peened stainless steel tank with smoothed out welds, as well as a stainless front, top ledge, and header. Safety is at the forefront of this design - a back-up safety high limit control shuts the fryer down if shortening exceeds the maximum temperature.
It comes with twin nickel chrome wire mesh fry baskets with red plastic coated handles, built-in flue detector, casters, and a one-year parts and labor warranty. Choose from Natural Gas or LP, depending on your needs.
A scoop specifically designed for scooping and bagging French fries and a French fry bag rack complete your fryer area setup!
A Dish Best Served Hot!
Let's face facts: cold French fries just aren't appealing. The same greasy glisten that draws our eyes and tastes so amazing when the fries are warm becomes gelatinous and off-putting when those fries begin to cool. Make sure your customers are getting your fries when they look and taste their best by utilizing two bulb food warmers in your kitchen.
The Nemco food warmer features a sturdy steel frame and a durable, scratch-resistant finish that is easy to clean. It uses two 250-watt bulbs to hold your food at optimum serving temperatures.
Our other professional heat lamp has a four-position adjustable height that allows you to control heat intensity, and includes a one-year parts and labor warranty.
Once you are ready to bring the fries to customers, scoop them into an eye-catching serving basket and send them on their way!
A Mash Made in Heaven
If the buttery, fluffy goodness that is mashed potatoes are a better fit for your customer base or standard menu, Rapids has tools for that too! We offer a number of different potato mashers in a variety of styles, such as round face and wavy, as well as a potato ricer that will help give your potatoes a fluffier texture.
Boil 'em, Mash 'em...Make 'em into Vodka?
Nobody specified that a National Potato Day celebration had to involve food! Serve up some potato-based vodka as a clever alternative way to potatoes in a meal.
Rapids offer attractive 22" stainless speed rails to display your drink (single or double tier), as well as portion control liquor pourers to ensure your bartenders are pouring the correct amount every time
