10/25/06 - I Want to Win Big! And I Did!

Eagle, ID, October 25, 2006 – Pat Vezertzis didn’t enter the Idaho Potato Commission’s annual dehydrated potatoes promotion to win prizes – in fact, he didn’t even remember there were prizes. He entered because the IPC was offering a savings of $3 on every case of dehydrated Idaho potato products purchased at the retail price in a three-month period … and Pat uses A LOT of dehydrated Idaho potatoes. He was shocked when he got the call last week letting him know that, in addition to the money he got back from his orders, he also won a 42-inch LCD HDTV. “I was very surprised,” Pat remarked. “What a treat; I’ve never won anything that significant before!”

A flavor conduit, it is also an item of comfort that allows consumers the security to try new things without huge risk. This is one of the reasons chefs return to the Idaho potato again and again, reinventing the classics.
