I am traveling to Hope Idaho this weekend does anybody have any lunch recomendations in hope or sandpoint? I have never been to either place. I am open to any type of cuisine as long as it is good.

: baking types (i.e., Idaho/Burbank Russets) not waxy types (i.e., Red Norland). All purpose types (i.e., Yukon Golds) can be OK, but Russets will yield a superior texture. Add butter after ricing the potatoes but before you start...

I’ve also had home fries made with different types of potatos, like red skinned or yukon gold, while hash browns seem to be usually made from standard Idaho spuds.

for me that all depends on what type of potato i’m using and how long i cook them. but a warm german/french potato salad is delicious when the spuds are slightly mashed.

use something starchy—Idahos, Yukons, most fingerlings let the spuds cook for a bit before you move them around when you do stir them, avoid lifting the pan from the heating element These are just some thoughts on the...

on moisture content of the air, flour, and potatoes. Aside from that you did use the right kind of potatoes. Idaho/russets are the best for this. A common problem for first-timer’s is too hard a boil. These things are fairly...

. And Chef Eleazar Perez knows how to make fries super crisp and super tasty: 1) use fresh spuds; 2) make daily batches; 3) cook ’em twice. “We cook them halfway through before refrigerating them until an order comes in,” says...

The first thing that popped into my mind was the candy called, if I remember right, "Idaho Spud," a potato (or fecal) shaped abomination that I believe is still being made. The only candy I remember actively disliking as a kid.

Crown Pilot Crackers, at $4.75 a box. We ordered a pile of candies for Christmas stockings and had a lot of fun with it. Although I can’t really recommend the Idaho Spud candy bar... (and, for those craving Bonomo Turkish...

of perfectly smooth potatoes with my old potato masher, the heavy-wire kind. It’s work, but it’s so much less likely to turn those spuds to wallpaper paste. I guess some people think that’s how mashed potatoes...

I do almost the same thing as Todao. My nuker is 23 years old, so... six to eight minutes on high (for 2 spuds-large) check to see if they’re sort of soft. If yes, oven for 10-15 minutes @ 400,( with a little butter...

According to the Idaho Potato Commission, start them in cold water so they cook more evenly. More important with mashed potatoes are to keep them warm (hot milk, room temperature butter), and be gentle with them. A food mill is...

Prolonged baking time for both russets/Idahos and sweet potatos/yams (the sweet ones) makes a big difference in flavor. I read about the former in, I think, James Beard. You bake them for at least 2 hours. In the former case, the...

That’s my job at the pot luck this week. The thing is, this is the best dish to showcase anything. At the same time, they expect me to show up with boiled spuds. How about we blow their asses out of the water? I want to arrive...

on the stovetop...how much you need will depend on the number of spuds. I get the fat free at the grocery and do a bunch at a time, keep it in the freezer. Anywho...once you have your fat all ready to go, you need to score the...
