A potato cultivar designated J55 is disclosed. The invention relates to tubers of potato cultivar J55, to seeds of potato cultivar J55, to plants and plant parts of potato cultivar J55, to food products produced from potato cultivar J55, and to methods for producing a potato plant by crossing potato cultivar J55 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a transgenic potato plant and to the transgenic potato plants and parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato plants and plant parts derived from potato cultivar J55, to methods for producing other potato plants or plant parts derived from potato cultivar J55 and to the potato plants and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar J55 with another potato cultivar.

A potato cultivar designated W8 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar W8, to the seeds of potato cultivar W8, to the plants of potato W8, to the plant parts of potato cultivar W8, to food products produced from potato cultivar W8, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar W8 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a potato plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic potato plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from potato variety W8, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar W8 and to the potato plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar W8 with another potato cultivar.

A potato cultivar designated F10 is disclosed. The invention relates to the tubers of potato cultivar F10, to the seeds of potato cultivar F10, to the plants of potato F10, to the plant parts of potato cultivar F10, to food products produced from potato cultivar F10, and to methods for producing a potato plant produced by crossing potato cultivar F10 with itself or with another potato variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a potato plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic potato plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to potato cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from potato variety F10, to methods for producing other potato cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from potato cultivar F10 and to the potato plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid potato tubers, seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing potato cultivar F10 with another potato cultivar.

Oven-baked french fries having extended hold time

Parfried potato strips and a related preparation process are provided wherein the parfried strips have a relatively low moisture content suitable for oven finish or rapid finish fry preparation, and further wherein the parfried strips exhibit improved storage stability without developing undesirable off-flavor characteristics. The parfried potato strips are initially blanched and then surface treated to apply reducing sugar in a controlled amount prior to parfrying in hot oil and freezing. In one form, the surface treatment is a dextrose-containing dip or spray, whereas in another form the surface treatment is a sugar-containing starch-based batter coating. In either case, the quantity of sugar on the exterior surfaces of the strips is regulated in relation to the parfry oil temperature to achieve a target strip color. In a preferred preparation process, the potato strips are subjected to first and second parfry steps in hot oil with an intermediate freeze step prior to final freezing, wherein the quantity of sugar on the exterior surfaces of the strips is regulated in relation to the temperature of the second parfry step to achieve the target strip color.

Process for preparing storage stable low moisture parfried potato strips

Improved batter coated French fried potato strips and a related preparation process are provided, wherein the potato strips are suitable for fast finish preparation in an oven and exhibit overall taste, appearance and textural characteristics closely emulating frozen parfried potato strips which have been finish prepared by frying. The preparation process comprises cutting and blanching fresh potato strips, and then coating the strips with an aqueous starch slurry. The batter coated potato strips are then subjected to a first parfry step after which the strips are promptly frozen. The once-parfried and frozen potato strips are next subjected to a second parfry step followed by freezing a second time and packaging for storage and/or shipment. The thus-prepared potato strips can be finish cooked in an oven for consumption, with a short preparation time and with quality characteristics similar to French fried potato strips which have been finish prepared by frying.
