I'm glad you enjoyed Coeur d'Alene. ...Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed Coeur d'Alene. :) And that you hiked Tubbs Hill--such a great place to spend some time, whether you're visiting or local. <br /><br />Do you know how difficult it is to actually find an Idaho potato in Idaho? Most of the potatoes we buy in stores around Idaho are actually from Oregon or Washington unless you hit up a farmer's market. Here in North Idaho they're mostly Washington potatoes. I'm pretty sure *some* of the potatoes used in Ore-Ida products come from Idaho, but they were bought out by Heinz a few years ago and now their headquarters aren't even close to Oregon or Idaho anymore. :( <br /><br />If you ever happen by the area again and want some real Idaho potatoes, I know that Roger's Ice Cream & Burgers uses locally-grown ones in their fries (http://www.rogersicecreamburgers.com/), and the Garnet Cafe also uses them.
