LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA –Traditional recipes from Hanukkah’s potato Latkes to Christmas morning pancakes, have been given a fresh twist with Stokes Purple ® Sweet Potatoes, distributed by Frieda’s.
The line of new recipes was created for Frieda’s Inc., by Los Angeles bloggers Erika Penzer Kerekes of the cooking site, InErikasKitchen.com and vegan blogger Carolyn Scott Hamilton of The Healthy Voyager. The recipes highlight the versatility of the sweet and savory Stokes Purple®Sweet Potato.
“Frieda’s encourages produce retailers to include Purple Sweet Potatoes in their potato displays. Not only are they a nice color break, but they will create more impulse sales for the entire potato category. Their bold purple color is a wonderful addition to the holiday table,” says Karen Caplan, President and CEO of Frieda’s, Inc.
Frieda’s new line of Stokes Purple® Sweet Potato recipes includes Sweet Potato Latkes, Sweet Potato Pancakes with Bacon, Sweet Potato Muffins, Sweet Potato Vegan Bisque and Vegan Mashed Potatoes.
