Idaho potato
Gem State spud
A potato grown in Idaho, a U.S. state whose volcanic soil and climate produce prized potatoes.
The term often refers specifically to russet potatoes—large, brown-skinned, starchy varieties ideal for baking and frying: I'll have the steak with an Idaho potato.
Idaho potatoes are marketed as a premium product, though the designation is geographical rather than botanical.
