RITE STUFF FOODS was created some 20 years ago by Mr. Thomas Madden. He was always very active in the food industry, but wanted to start a new company with new ideas and new products. He saw that there was a lack of quality restaurant options for potato side dishes in the foodservice industry. He went right to work and came up with several new twice baked potato recipes that caught on quickly within the industry. In the early stages of the company, most products were delivered from the factory floor directly to the individual restaurants by truck.
After having success with many small restaurants, RITE STUFF FOODS continued to branch out with more new items and more production capacity within the single factory.
More factory space was acquired and the company expanded its products to include potato skins, whole baked potatoes and specialty mashed products.
In early 1999, RITE STUFF FOODS was relocated to its permanent location in Jerome Idaho. Even though the company had always utilized the highest quality Idaho Russet variety potato, moving into the ‘Famous Potato’ state just made good business sense.
Today, RITE STUFF FOODS is one of the top manufactures in the specialty frozen potato industry. For twice baked potatoes, RITE STUFF FOODS can produce any size ranging between 3 oz up to 10 oz. The varieties include cheese, sour cream and chives, butter, broccoli, gourmet, and many special varieties. For potato skin products, RITE STUFF FOODS produces both half-cut potato skins and three-quarter cut potato boats. The sizing runs from a 3 inch profile all the way up to a 7 inch product. Other specialty products include mashed ( garlic, butter) Fried skin products, Fried and Filled ( bacon, cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, etc.) The Foodservice and Retail industries continue to send challenges that will propel RITE STUFF FOODS into new and exciting areas.
