Our love of starch sometimes expresses itself in the humble POTATO. But, being a family of 2, we do not need a
big ol’ bag of taters, we often just want ONE or two. And Trader Joe’s kindly gives us that choice.

I have not done a price comparison – maybe a penny less than half a
dollar is on par with other stores or even a bit more, I am not sure. What I am sure of is that I like that fact
that TJ’s doesn’t make me buy multiple potatoes or worse yet, WRAP a single
potato in plastic and slap a sticker on it pretending it is somehow fancier
than other single potatoes (as some grocery stores have started to do).

These are just humble, single Russet potatoes. They taste like any other Russet potato. They are good. Fluffy.
Nice with butter and salt. If you
have sour cream in the fridge to throw on top that cannot go wrong.
We went to the POTATO MUSEUM in Idaho a couple of years ago. We figured, heck, if you are in Idaho, home
of the potato, you really should stop by and see the MUSEUM, eh? I am glad we did. It was a fun place and worth a bit of a drive
out of the way. We learned loads of
potato facts and we even got to see a really big Pringle potato chip (though we
could argue for quite some time about Pringles – potato or pretender?? Discuss amongst yourselves…). And the Potato Museum was WAAAAY better
than the Jell-o Museum in upstate New York (but this review is not about Jell-o,
so we will not get into that here).

Anyway, if you are near Blackfoot, Idaho, stop in at the Potato Museum -

. And if you are in Trader Joe’s, grab a
spud or two.
