Potato Capital of the World
Blackfoot, Idaho | 369 miles
Blackfoot, Idaho calls itself “The Potato Capital of the World,” and Bingham County, where Blackfoot is located, annually produces more than 57,000 acres of the tasty tuber across its 1,177 farms. While China is in fact the top potato-producing country in the world, Bingham County holds the honor of being the largest potato-producing region in Idaho, making it the epicenter of a veritable potato paradise. The Idaho potato, in all its glory, is celebrated at the Idaho Potato Museum in Blackfoot. The museum, housed in a historic railroad depot, offers exhibits on the history of the potato, a potato cinema, a café serving all things potato, and more. It’s everything you wanted to know about potatoes but were always too afraid to ask.
