Pre-cooked potatoes are almost always produced from waxy potatoes. After an intensive peeling process, where all irregularities are removed, an intensive sorting step follows in order to boil completely clean potatoes, which are subsequently cooled down.
The boiling and cooling processes are highly delicate ones, where a hygienic production environment is essential. During the boiling process, bacteria are killed and during cooling down, no recontamination may occur. The equipment for such lines are designed and built according to very strict instructions. The cooled product is very carefully packaged.
