People have been making the joke about Idaho for decades. You know, the one about potatoes?
Yes, all the potato-puns are terrible, but they did get us thinking. Since Idaho is so famous for our potatoes, and it sometimes seems to be the sole thing outsiders know about Idaho, should we just give them what they want?
Should a Potato-Only restaurant be opened here in Idaho?
At first, it might seem like a silly idea. “How in the world would a restaurant sustain itself serving only potato dishes?”
Well, let’s see how deep of a list we can crank out of potato and potato-adjacent meals this theoretical restaurant could serve:
- French fries
- Mashed potatoes
- Potato salad
- Roasted potatoes
- Hasselback potatoes
- Potato wedges
- Potato latkes
- Baked potatoes
- Twice-baked potatoes
- Gnocchi
- Poutine
- Aloo gobi
- Potato curry
- Kumpir
- Vada Pav
…we could go on…
