Potato Week, presented by Peak of the Market Ltd., is back for a fifth year of delicious dishes featuring Manitoba-grown potatoes.

From January 20 to 29, more than 60 restaurants will be busy mashing, baking, slicing, and dicing to create signature potato dishes in hopes of winning the public’s vote. 

“Manitoba potato growers work hard to ensure consumers have access to world-class product all year round,” said Pamela Kolochuk, CEO of Peak of the Market Ltd. “Potato Week celebrates their hard work and the creativity of chefs while encouraging people to eat local.”

There is no fee for restaurants to join Potato Week and Peak of the Market Ltd. is once again supplying 100 lbs of complimentary potatoes to participating locations. 

“The past few years have been difficult for so many restaurants,” said Kolochuk. “We’re hoping Potato Week will help continue bringing diners back into restaurants and showcase just how versatile and delicious potatoes can be.” 

Potato Week 2023 features a variety of savoury, spicy and even sweet options that will be sure to curb any craving. For more information and a list of participating locations, visit www.potatoweek.com.
