Potato Jazz

Consumers are time starved but they’re often not willing to sacrifice quality and health when they cook. That was the insight behind the launch of Potato Jazz, a new line of fresh microwavable potatoes.

Created by the Little Potato Company of Edmonton, the product consists of fresh potatoes that have been washed and packed in an integrated steam tray.

The potatoes are “not frozen” company officials say. All consumers need to do is pop the tray into a microwave for five minutes to prepare.
