All Mixed Up™ Season 5 Premieres on Lifetime® TV; Student Chefs Get Creative with Simply Potatoes

 Simply Potatoes® takes center stage on Season 5 of hit reality cooking show hosted by Ralph Pagano; three women student chefs compete for All Mixed Up Champion title

(Pompano Beach, FL – PR LOG – September 8, 2014)  Season 5 of the award-winning culinary competition show All Mixed Up™ from the producers of Designing Spaces™ and hosted by celebrity chef Ralph Pagano brings a twist; the three competing aspiring chefs are all women. Make sure to tune in to the premiere on Wednesday, September 10 at 7:30 am (ET/PT) on Lifetime as the student chefs stir up creative cuisine with Simply Potatoes®.

In this first episode, the chefs will find out which secret ingredient from the Simply Potatoes product line they will need to incorporate into their appetizer dish only moments before the appetizer competition begins.  With the timer set for only 30 minutes, the race is on as the culinary students cook up three different original appetizers that they hope will impress the panel of judges.

Lending her culinary expertise is Gracia Pratt, Sr. Brand Manger for Simply Potatoes who will give insight into the company’s history before pulling her chair up to the judges’ table.  Simply Potatoes uses products that are fresh, never frozen, or dehydrated, to taste like they were made them from scratch. Perfect for this competition, they are conveniently pre-peeled, diced and sliced.

Besides having an all-female cast, Season 5’s All Mixed Up is full of other twists, including the surprises and challenges Chef Pagano throws their way while the aspiring chefs are trying to complete their dish in time to rack up the stars they need to win the appetizer round.

Can the students keep their cool in the heat of the kitchen? Tune in to Lifetime Television to find out!

The All Mixed Up series continues on September 11^th and September 12, 2014.

“Simply Potatoes are a great, quality side dish, but they are also extremely versatile in terms of their application in recipes.  All Mixed Up is a fun way to showcase our products’ versatility and get consumers thinking about new and creative ways they can incorporate Simply Potatoes into their own recipes,” said Jeff Twomey.
