Product Highlight: Martin’s Top-Sliced Long Potato Rolls

There’s something about a top-sliced roll that instantly elevates menu items from ordinary to memorable. Martin’s Top-Sliced Long Potato Rolls are a delicious and striking way to showcase premium fillings. Whether you’re serving butter-poached lobster, gourmet sausages, or artisan hot dogs, the perfectly crafted top sliced design keeps ingredients securely in place for a cleaner eating experience.

Our Top-Sliced Long Rolls are made with the same potato dough recipe as our other famous potato roll products. The soft, slightly sweet dough adds a distinct flavor and luxurious texture that guests notice and appreciate, while the rolls’ durability means they won’t fall apart under heavy toppings or saucy preparations. Plus, these rolls offer the consistency and quality needed to build a reputation for excellence, whether you’re serving classic hot dogs at a high-volume concession stand or crafting lobster rolls at an upscale coastal restaurant.

About Martin’s Top-Sliced Long Potato Rolls

You may be wondering why you should choose a top-sliced bun over a side-sliced bun, like Martin’s Long Potato Rolls. While we love our traditional Long Potato Rolls, our Top-Sliced Potato Rolls offer a few advantages that may fit your roll needs.

Slicing Position

  • Top-sliced: Cut from the top, opening like a “V” to cradle the fillings
  • Traditional: Cut from the side, opening like a book with the split running along the length

Filling Capacity & Security

  • Top-sliced: Creates a deeper pocket that holds more toppings and prevents ingredients from spilling out the sides. Ideal for loaded hot dogs, sausages with peppers and onions, or lobster rolls
  • Traditional: Ingredients can slide out from the sides, especially with heavy or wet toppings

Presentation

  • Top-sliced: Showcases fillings beautifully atop a golden roll. Customers can see exactly what’s inside
  • Traditional: Showcases fillings from the side of the roll and could be hidden depending on roll placement.

Preparation

  • Top-sliced: Ingredients can be piled on without wrestling with the roll making it easier to load quickly during busy service
  • Traditional: Requires opening the roll from the side and turning to place ingredients
Fun fact: We introduced Top-Sliced Long Potato Rolls to the food service market in 2017 for a large football stadium. Since then, several other sports stadiums and restaurants have added this product to their menu offerings.
