Idaho Potato Museum. Blackfoot, Idaho - Idaho Potato Museum

At the Idaho Potato Museum the world's largest baked potato stands in front of the museum. [Britt Marley, 10/20/2009]

Dan Quayle potato. Blackfoot, Idaho - Idaho Potato Museum

This roadside attraction was just what I'd hoped for -- one of those small town, earnest, lovable places that's a tribute to something ordinary that makes America great. A sweet, friendly lady greeted us at the front desk/gift shop and was impressed we were all the way from Rhode Island. Inside was the story of Idaho potatoes, told in a low-tech way with lots of folk-arty paintings and exhibits.

The gift shop was a vast array of great, goofy souvenirs... who wouldn't want a memento from such a fabulous place? And, true to their slogan ("We give taters to Out-Of-Staters") we received a box of yummy hash browns to take home with us! You can't beat that. [Gunnar Johnson, 07/18/2008]
