How people cook with it
This potato-based coating is excellent for creating a delightful crust on a variety of dishes. It works well with both savory and slightly sweet applications.
- Coating for chicken tenders

To use H-E-B Potato Crusted, first prepare your food item, such as chicken pieces or fish fillets. You can lightly moisten the food with water, egg wash, or milk.

The potato particles will crisp up, providing a satisfying texture that complements the main ingredient.

After opening, store any unused H-E-B Potato Crusted in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain its crispness and prevent it from absorbing moisture, ensuring it is ready for your next use. Proper storage is key to preserving its quality.
