Being from Idaho, I thought I should jump in although, if you notice, I am so reticent, I usually stay out of conversations! In Idaho, we have large structures in which the freshly harvested potatoes are stored. These are temperature controlled and out of sunlight. My brother-in-law used to give us sacks of potatoes when we visited. Yum!! I won't buy potatoes in the store unless they say "Idaho" on them and if they say "Packed in Twin Falls, ID," I pass because that probably means they were grown in maybe Washington (Apples, remember?) and only packed in Twin Falls which is not a potato growing area. Eastern Idaho is where the goodies are. Marilynn IBSSG

Sorry Marilynn, But being from Maine, I've got to go with MAINE grown potatoes and bagged here in this great state by Maine potatoe growers. Once in a while though, I do have to sneak across the border to New Brunswick where I have a lot of relatives who grow potatoes.

Ben, Marilyn(n) and others You've obviously not tasted a Matanuska Valley Spud...!!! Why do you think we have so many Russian immigrants who moved up here from Idaho and Oregon???? Because they finally found a spud you could make decent vodkw with..!!!
