26 mouth-watering Idaho potato recipes created with several Idaho potato varieties — from soups and French fries, to casseroles and cakes, they’re all going to make you happy, and to celebrate Dr. Potato! 
Today I’m celebrating Don Odiorne (AKA Dr. Potato)! It’s his birthday, and I can’t very well let it go by without sharing delicious recipes created from Idaho potatoes!
I met Don Odiorne — VP-Food Service for the Idaho Potato Commission — about five years ago. Soon after, he brought me on board with other food bloggers, who I’m proud to be in the company of, to work with the Idaho Potato Commission.
Not only do I love cooking and creating with Idaho potatoes, but I’m grateful that Cooking On The Weekends has been greatly enhanced by this collaboration
And Don also happens to be one of the most kind, warm people you’d ever want to meet. Wishing you a very happy birthday Don! And many, many more!

October 30, 2016 at 4:05 pmYou are so creative with potatoes – l really need to make some of these! My favorite – and me that I did make – is the smashed potato breakfast pizza. So good, and so hearty – I made it for friends before we went hiking!
