Idaho is well-known for potato production. According to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, the state leads the nation in potato production, with nearly one-third of all US potatoes grown there. More than 30 varieties are harvested in the Gem State, including Yukon Golds, Reds, Fingerlings, and the Russet, also known as the “Idaho potato.” The crop flourishes particularly well in Idaho thanks to its warm days, cool evenings, and fertile volcanic soil.
