Potatoes from Farm to Table
I love to eat potatoes and, apparently, so do millions of other people. Each one of us consumes 126 pounds of the tubers every year, including russet and Idaho baking potatoes, Yukon Gold and Russian blue (which I am currently planting).

Planting and harvesting is one of the easiest and high-yielding crops to grow from seed. And just think of all the recipes you can whip up using home-grown potatoes.
