Fresh chips for Ermelo and the surrounding area

Ermelo lies on the edge of the Veluwe, with woods and heathland close to the village. It is a place where many people come on holiday, as the many campsites and holiday parks show. For the snack bars, kiosks and restaurants in Ermelo we cut fresh chips from potatoes grown on our own land.

Heathland, woods and holidaymakers

Walkers, cyclists and families with a caravan or tent make up a large share of the customers in Ermelo. After a day outdoors, a portion of chips is part of the holiday for many people. Then there are the villagers themselves, who drop in at the snack bar or café all year round.

Those two kinds of customer ask different things of a business. In summer it is about speed and large numbers, in winter about the regular who comes back every week. Chips that come from the same home-grown potatoes all year help you offer both groups the same quality.

Keeping a campsite kiosk running

A kiosk or snack bar on a campsite often has a compact kitchen and a season that has to earn its keep in a few months. A good routine matters then. Par-fry the chips in quiet moments, let them cool and finish them as soon as an order comes in. That keeps waiting times short, even with a queue at the hatch.

The right fat makes a big difference here. A fat that copes well with high temperatures and does not break down quickly saves work and money. Which types there are and what suits your business is explained under the best frying fat.

Whole potatoes for your own kitchen

Holiday parks with their own restaurant sometimes prefer whole potatoes. They can cut them into chips but also use them for other dishes on the menu. We supply the Agria washed or scraped, washed and graded on the farm every week. There is more about this under washed and peeled potatoes.

Ermelo is part of our service area around Harderwijk, and we also deliver in nearby Nunspeet. Would you like to know what we can do for your business? Call or message Thijs on 06 23972300.
