What Exactly Makes An Idaho Potato?

Russet Potato varieties grow well in the ideal climate and soil conditions of Idaho. The potatoes continuing success is also a reflection of the quality and experience of Idaho growers, packers and shippers.

From harvest on Idaho Potatoes are carefully handled by trained operators using specially- designed machinery. Our storage facilities are monitored to ensure that our potatoes retain their freshness. Optimum quality can be maintained at between 45° and 48° F. Warmer temperatures can cause sprouting and softening, and cooler conditions increase risk of bruising or cracking and cause the potatoes to have a sweet flavor. Temperature, humidity and air circulation are constantly controlled to maintain the excellent, fresh-from-the-field condition of Idaho tubers, so you receive the firmest, freshest, tastiest potatoes every time.
