The Basic American Foods Golden Potato Pearls are supremely smooth mashed potatoes. These seasoned mash potatoes have a very creamy and buttery texture.
Uses
Side dish service: Serve as a classic mashed potato side alongside roasted meats, gravies, and holiday or daily menu plates in cafeterias, diners, and cafes.
Soup and stew thickening: Stir into soups, stews, and chowders to add body and a smooth, buttery potato flavor without heavy cream or flour-based thickeners.
Buffet and catering hold: Prepare in large batches and hold warm for extended service windows; the texture stays consistent under heat lamps and steam tables.
Recipe base: Use as a ready foundation for shepherd’s pie topping, potato croquettes, or loaded mashed potato bowls with cheese, bacon, and chives.
Who Would Benefit

Preparation & Use
Pour 2 gallons of boiling water (212°F) into a mixing bowl. For hand mixing, add all potatoes while stirring, let stand for 1 minute, then stir well and serve. For machine mixing, use a whip attachment on low to slowly add all potatoes, then whip on high until fluffy for 2 minutes and hold until ready to serve. Adjust consistency by adding more boiling water for thinner potatoes or more potato pearls for thicker results. One 3.7 lb pack pairs with 2 gallons of water per preparation cycle; scale water and product proportionally for smaller or larger batches.
Common Applications
Classic plated side with gravy or butter, base layer for shepherd’s pie, thickener for cream soups and chowders, loaded potato bar stations, breakfast hash topping, and comfort-food menu specials. The quick rehydration and stable hold make it equally effective for à la carte service and high-volume batch production.
