20 mouth-watering Idaho potato recipes made with several Idaho potato varieties, from soups and French fries to casseroles and cakes. They're all going to make you happy!
For years, I've had the pleasure of working with the Idaho Potato Commission, alongside a group of other food bloggers I'm proud to be in the company of. I love cooking and creating with Idaho potatoes, and Cooking On The Weekends has been greatly enhanced by this collaboration.
What Are Idaho Potatoes Good For?
Most Idaho potatoes are russets. They're high in starch, which makes them ideal for baking, mashing and French fries.
Idaho also grows red, gold, fingerling and purple potatoes, which hold their shape well for roasting, smashing and potato salads. You'll find several of these varieties in the recipes below.

You 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!
