Idaho
Gem State nickname
Idaho is a state in the northwestern United States, known for its mountainous terrain and potato production.
Idaho potatoes have become synonymous with quality, making the state's name shorthand for the starchy tuber itself.
The panhandle shape of its northern border gives it a distinctive outline on maps.
