Even though Idaho produces about one third of the potatoes in America, estimated to be twenty-seven billion potatoes annually, more people outside of Idaho eat potatoes than those living inside Idaho. The fast-food chain McDonald's Corporation spends over $126 million annually on Idaho potatoes.
The world's largest potato chip can be found at The Idaho Potato Museum located in Blackfoot, Idaho. The chip measures twenty-five inches by fourteen inches and resembles a Pringle potato chip and not a Ruffles potato chip.
The potato first appeared on Idaho License plates in 1928; however, not everything in Idaho is about potatoes. Moscow, Idaho is the biggest grower of lentils, and the Palouse region of Idaho is known as the lentil capital of the world. The 1,800-acre Elk Mountain Farm in Idaho is home to the largest hops farm in the world, being the main hops supplier for Anheuser-Busch.
