National Potato Day - August 19th

Live just a stone's throw from Idaho, guess I need to see what the big celebration there will be.

I am not sure what makes for good potato growing, I always thought they were likely just the crop of last resort. Too cold or dry to risk growing anything else.

Driven by this place many times, but never stopped...

I love potatoes in any way, shape or form.

I'm with you. Unfortunately, I am not able to cook them as I have nowhere to cook and eating out for potatoes is not a high priority. Though...

Thanks @GAlady. Now know what today's lunch will be since I bought a couple gold potatoes Wednesday. Nothing fancy. Just wash the outside, mic one a few minutes, cut up and smash for easy eating. Add margarine and salt, maybe a bit of ketchup, washed down with whole milk.

These are illustrations for Vachel Lindsay's poem :
"The Potatoes Dance" that I enjoyed as a child. (Childcraft books)

The poem ends with:

And his weeping for the lady,
The glorious Irish lady,
The beauteous Irish lady,
Who
Gives
Potatoes
Eyes.”
