WISCONSIN RED GOLD POTATO, RACLETTE & TRUFFLE PIZZA
 “Using the right ingredient, the right way, is crucial when creating amazing food combinations. In this pizza, it is important that the selected potato is sliced paper-thin to ensure a crisp texture creating a rich, warm color and enough sweetness to complement the earthy richness of the truffles.
Our chefs enjoy selecting the perfect potato for each recipe and at the same time supporting Wisconsin farmers who offer many specialty varieties of potatoes.”
Executive Chef Ulrich Koberstein, The American Club, Kohler WI
