  • I hope one of the potato dishes are made with an Idaho potato. French fries, mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin, hash, potato chips -- got to have an Idaho potato. The best way to eat an Idaho potato is to run into the road after a potato truck has driven by and grab any that have fallen!

    Hahah ... Ok, seriously, my mom grew up just outside of San Francisco. We used to go visit family there and would pick up artichokes that fell off the back of the trucks. Those were some of the best artichokes ever!
