As a Belgian-based company, Lutosa is understandably known for its French and Belgian fries as well as the sort of chunky pub-style chips so beloved throughout the UK and Ireland. We are also experienced producers of high-quality Belgian hash browns, products that also serve both markets in the British Isles very well. If you currently stock hash browns for sides, cooked breakfasts and accompaniments, then consider the commercial benefits of shifting to genuine Belgian hash browns instead. Our guide will inform you of everything you need to know about Belgian hash browns when running a food service business.
At Lutosa, we have an in-house research and development team which is always looking to innovate. This means that we have come up with some novel products in the past. It also means we are constantly trying to improve the products we currently produce, such as our Belgian hash browns, for example.
A good example of our approach is our rustic hash browns, made with high-quality potato and onion for a distinctive flavour combination unlike anything else in our range. We’re also expanding our flavoured offering with two exciting new products: Cheezy Crunchies, crispy potato bites with a rich cheese taste, and Smoky Crunchies, delivering a bold smoky barbecue flavour.
With over 45 years of experience working in developing exemplary potato-based products, there can be little doubt as to our expertise with Belgian hash browns designed to serve the needs of the food service industry in the UK and beyond.
All Lutosa coating - whether flavoured or not - are gluen-free, i.e. they do not contain wheat or derivatives of wheat. This makes them well-suited for people who suffer from celiac disease and for those who prefer to stick to a gluten-free diet.
Good operations, good people and good corporate responsibility lie at the heart of any good food production business and this starts with good agriculture. In terms of our Belgian hash browns, it is worth noting that 70% of the potatoes we source are grown locally in Belgium. All of our growers are Vegaplan certified, so food service companies that want traceability over their hash browns’ vegan credentials will have what they need if they source from us. We work closely with our growers to ensure the potatoes we use in our Belgian hash browns are of the highest quality for the product.
At Lutosa, our Belgian hash browns come in different shapes and sizes. We have oval and traditional triangular-shaped hash browns as well as rustic versions, potato crunchies and nuggets. Despite this great variety with something for every kind of food service company, all of our Belgian hash brown products have the same superb texture combination. This is to say, we work hard to attain the right level of crispiness is offered on the outside of the product while ensuring the insides are always light and fluffy. This extra blend of crispy-fluffiness is what makes Belgian hash browns so popular throughout the world, the UK included. We pre-cook our hash browns to just the right degree so that, when they are being prepared from frozen in a professional kitchen, they retain these characteristics throughout the service.
Yes, we offer private label packaging for our Belgian hash browns. These are non-standard products which can be made for specific requests, so simply reach out and ask us if this is the sort of thing you want. Whether you want a plain pack with simple preparation guidance and allergy information or would prefer something branded to your unique demands, we can help.
As mentioned, our Belgian hash brown range covers more than the standard type of traditional hash browns that are known and loved all over the UK. We also produce potato nuggets and crunchies in this product collection, the ideal accompaniment for many food service settings. In particular, these products tend to go down well on children’s menus. Their smaller size compared to our standard Belgian hash browns is perfect for little ones. That being said, our Belgian nuggets and crunchies are also ideal when served as snacks or canapés in their own right. As such, they’re potato-based products that are equally at home on an adult menu as they are when served specifically for children.
Not only are our Belgian hash browns easy to prepare, but they have also been specifically designed to offer food service businesses minimal wastage and preparation options to suit their individual set-ups. For one thing, these pre-fried hash browns require very little heat energy consumption to go from freezer to plate. You don’t need to thaw them out in advance and you can break our packets up into individual portion sizes as you see fit.
Even better, our delicious Belgian hash browns can be prepared in the oven, ideal for kitchens without professional fryers at their disposal. If you are looking for an alternative preparation method, then check out the products in the range which are suitable for air-frying… all of them! With quick preparation times and only minimal kitchen know-how required, stocking our Belgian hash browns makes a great deal of sense among food service outlets which need to cope with high demands during peak service hours.
