Enjoy this pictorialpotatoland Diary of The Idaho® potato harvest tour where bloggers, chefs, and food writers had the opportunity to visit our beautiful state for a little hands-on potato education. Our guests visited potato farms, sheds and processing facilities and sampled a lot of different (and delicious) potato preparations over the course of the three-day tour. While they learned what makes Idaho® potatoes the best—including the ideal climate (warm days and cool nights) and soil that is rich with volcanic materials—they also experienced the passion of folks in the industry first hand. It’s a passion that’s definitely contagious. Be sure to enjoy some post-tour chef, blogger and writer recipes included in this directory that were inspired by the tour.
