10-17-20 Idaho Potato Museum

Wow it’s windy this afternoon and perfect weather for a baked potato with all the trimmings!

Potato Café serves up bakers s good as homemade. Fries looked like the best on the planet, long 1/2” strips with skins but we were too stuffed to find out!

Fascinating education on all things POTATO!

Amazing collections of potato peelers, mashers, baking nails, serving dishes, toys and other potato memorabilia.

By outward appearances a small museum but SO much to see and learn here from the origin of the potato and the Russet’s path into Idaho along with the history of production techniques. There’s even VR glasses for experiencing the view from atop a humongous potato tractor. How cool is that? And larger-than-life singing potatoes in the cellar — which is where most potatoes hang out, right?? Relics of experienced and quite rusted farm equipment outside the building.
