The leading producer of quality, packaged potato products in the U.S. broadens its product portfolio with the release of Idahoan® Tapatío® Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Idahoan® Bacon Cheddar Potato Shreds.

Big, bold flavors continue to be what consumers are craving, with 82% of consumers drawn to foods with hot and spicy flavors*. To meet this growing consumer need, Idahoan teamed up with the experts in hot sauce at Tapatío® to turn up the heat on their Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes, which are available in a 4-cup pack. And, when it came to expanding the Potato Shreds line, launched in August 2023 for consumers' on-the-go snacking needs, the brand turned to another beloved and mouthwatering pairing – bacon and cheese – to please hungry palates with Bacon Cheddar Potato Shreds, available in a 2-cup pack.

"We are eager to expand our most popular on-the-go lines with two new flavor-packed options designed for potato fans looking for convenience and great taste," said Ryan Ellis, Vice President of Retail Marketing & Business Development at Idahoan Foods. "The launch of these new products showcases our commitment to innovation and listening to consumers."

"At Tapatío®, we look for partners that bring the same passion for their products that we do, which is why working with the team over at Idahoan was a no brainer," said Roche McCoy, Director of Licensing Operations, Tapatío. "Idahoan® Tapatío® Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes bring the perfect balance of savory, cheesy goodness and the signature Tapatío heat to an all-new eating experience."
