It’s the perfect time to check out different varieties of potatoes and maybe try a few new potato recipes. The potato is one of America’s favorite vegetables, and we eat an average of about 110 pounds per person per year. Potatoes are grown in 30 states, with the top growers in Idaho and Washington. Here are a few fun historical facts: • The potato chip was invented in 1853 and has been America’s number one snack food for more than 50 years. • While ambassador to France, Benjamin Franklin attended a banquet where the fare was nothing but potatoes, prepared in 20 different ways. • Thomas Jefferson gets the credit for introducing French fries to America when he served them at a White House dinner. • Vincent Van Gogh painted four still-life canvases devoted entirely to the potato.
