Well, thanks for answering! I'd given up hope :-)

An inquiry prompted by mere idle speculation, I'm afraid. But I was disappointed that no VTer has written a tip about such an exotic attraction. Have you been?

haven't been yet. The funny thing is, I live in Idaho or lived VERY CLOSE to Idaho and have seen a lot of "Idaho things"..........but that....... and I love "world Famous Idaho Potatos". Now I must out of curiosity.

Fried, sauteed, roast, baked mashed or just plain boiled? Write it up, you'll have the glory of being the first!

Several restaurants in my town will serve you JUST a backed potato simply because they are so BIG. If you can get one with a good thick chili over it, it is SOOOOOOOOO good. I did buy one at a local grocer that weighed in at 2.5 american pounds. It fed my parents and myself and still had some left over. Nothin like a good Idaho Potato.
