Cost Per Serving Of A Baked Russet Potato From Idaho

Q:

How can I easily figure out what the individual potato cost is to bake an Idaho® Russet? I usually order a 90 count, Russet Burbank or Russet Norkotah.

A:

If your restaurant is paying $15.00 for a carton of 90 count Idaho® potatoes they cost 16.7 cents apiece. Here is the Cost per Serving chart to calculate the cost at different pricing and also to determine the cost of going up a size or down a size potato.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
