Give me a loaded twice baked potato and I'm in heaven!
ReplyDeleteBeing an immigrant family with little income but lots of kids, my Dad always praised the potato for being cheap and plentiful. Potatoes were one of the few foods that were not carefully portioned out, but we were allowed to eat as much as we wanted.
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes....my family ran a drive in hamburger place when I was younger so I fell in love with French fries. I also love a good loaded baked potato. You did a great job on the license plate...very cute.

I love scalloped potatoes but I have had to cut way back on them due to diabetes :(
ReplyDeleteCute license plate.

Making loaded baked potatoes for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteMr. Potato Head was invented and developed by George Lerner in 1949, and first manufactured and distributed by Hasbro in 1952. Mr. Potato Head was the first toy advertised on television. Just thought you'd want to know. (Info from Wikipedia)
ReplyDeleteHopefully summer is coming soon and with it potato salad! love the license plate! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAh, I grew up in Idaho, and I have such a fondness for it. Unfortunately, though, when I mention this fact, the first question people ask me is, "Did you grow potatoes?" Now, I love potatoes, but not everyone from Idaho is a potato farmer. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands choice side is a potato made in many different ways but he really loves them fried! Love your design! Thanks for the pattern and a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteCute block and those colors are really vibrant. Looking forward to seeing them in the stores. Potatoes....so glad they are a vegetable and there are so many ways to prepare them!
ReplyDeleteOne of my mom's best-ever dishes was scalloped potatoes...mmm...comfort food at its best! Thanks for the chance to win, and LOVE that quilt block.
ReplyDeleteI actually like potatoes, but I grew up in a country that's living of potato export. :) Besides the general recipes, I also like making rösti (grated potato with onion, salt & pepper and little heaps fried in oil) and the quick way of "roasting", poke a lot of holes in a fresh potato with a fork, microwave it for 5 to 10 minutes and done. :)
ReplyDeletePotatoes are a staple in our home. We are currently growing some potatoes and sweet potatoes (for the first time!) in our vegetable patch!
ReplyDeleteIn our house I think we eat more potatoes than anything else. A baked potato can be topped with almost anything and taste great. And as a quilter I don't always get a chance to "COOK".
ReplyDeleteI love your block! I love the way you made a patchwork of Idaho! I love potatoes - best part of summer bbq's to me is the potato salad!
ReplyDeleteI never met a potato that I didn't like! I love the versatility of the potato. One of my favorites is a simple baked potato covered with cheese and salsa.
ReplyDeleteAs a young teen, I remember making potato candy.
I never had mashed potato cakes until I met my dh. Leftover mashed tators, a bit of milk and flour, mix, pat into a patty and fry until brown on both sides. MMMM! A great license plate. Thanks for a fun blog hop.
ReplyDeleteLove potatoes--particularly baked!!!
ReplyDeleteIt does my heart good to read all the great comments about potatoes! I'm from the Sun Valley area - just over several mountain ranges from these two - howdy! Hard to pick a favorite tater recipe, but I'd have to say it would be potato salad. Love your Idaho license plate - perfect!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if there is a way I don't like potatoes- baked, fried, with cheese and bacon, etc.. You get the idea. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great quilt block!!! wonderful choice of colors for a cheerful finish!!
ReplyDeletePotatoes - I grew up in Wyoming and meat and potatoes was a staple at our house! And Idaho Spuds - wow haven't had one in years now that I live in Texas! Hope I win!! LOL If not, may just have to get on the internet and order me one!!
Blessings
I love baked potatoes, potato salad, hash brown potatoes, taters tots, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, and, if it counts, canned potatoes! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletewe are a meat and potato family here!! Just planted our potatoes on the weekend!!
ReplyDeleteOh Potatoes! How can you not love them at least one way! Fried, baked, mashed, creamed, scalloped, raw, French Fried, potato cakes, hash browns, tater tots.....Hummm getting hungry here!
ReplyDeleteMmm...potatoes...I couldn't live without them!
ReplyDeleteLove all kinds of potatoes, but my favorite is scalloped potatoes (and cheese makes it even better).
ReplyDeleteI love them for any meal, I don't think there is a wrong way to make potatoes.
ReplyDeleteLove fresh green beans with potatoes.
suebennett1975@gmail.com
Love your license plate. I hope to visit Idaho some day ... When we finally decide to take that Alaskan cruise, we'll drive Idaho on our way to Seattle.
ReplyDeleteI am hard pressed to think of a way that I don't like potatoes ... but I'm partial to my mom's celery potatoes cooked out on the grill. They always remind me of her.
THat sounds delish! Do you share the recipe?
DeleteI adore potatoes. My current favorite way to prepare them is smashed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Your block is awesome, and spending time at retreat sounds heavenly! You could make twice-baked potato soup to serve!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
I planted potatoes in my garden for the first time this year. :)
ReplyDeleteWe just dug up some 'new' potatoes' in the garden....... leek and potato soup is what's for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love it how you put a QUILT in your plate design!!!
My family LOVES potatoes! Especially mashed with lots of butter!
ReplyDeleteTalk about an American food staple! The potato is the most versatile vegetable...boiled, fried, baked, grilled, sauted, etc. So, many tasty ways to enjoy them. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThe potato is my favorite veggie, I love french fries, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato salad, etc!

ReplyDeleteWe love to fix up a potato bar for dinner from time to time. The best part about it is that I can wrap the potatoes in foil, stick them in the crockpot on low all day, and dinner is done without me having to be in the kitchen during the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have had your Idaho potato candy before (though not been to your state). It was a secret pal gift! Too fun!
I have to try that candy!!! Okay, here's the big secret. A meal at our house isn't complete without potatoes. I know we're coming into potato salad weather but here is a roasted potato recipe that never fails to please! Cut as many potatoes as you need into wedges and spread them on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle a blop or two of olive oil over them and mix it up with your hands til they're all coated. Then sprinkle salt, pepper and Herbs de Provence over them. Roast till they're soft inside. Who needs meat?!!
ReplyDeleteLove your plate design! I also love potatoes. When I was growing up, a meal wasn't a meal without spuds!
ReplyDeletesew4given AT aol DOT com
I LOVE Idaho potatoes. Especially love them "baked" in the crock pot, just scrub them and poke a few holes in them, and put them in the crockpot on low for 6 to 8 hours and forget about them. Perfecto!
ReplyDeleteI like potatoes in pretty much any recipe. Who doesn't?! Thanks to my military dad, I lived in Idaho for first grade. There was a potato field across the street from our house. Now I live on the east coast where the only thing across the street is more houses.
ReplyDeletediannc(at)aol(dot)com
Your block turned out fantastic. I sort of wish I did a patchwork outline of my state too but then that would have been copying plus I am happy with the way mine turned out.
ReplyDeleteLove your Idaho License Plate. My children LOVE potatoes. Their favorite is my twice baked potatoes. They say I only make them when their Papa comes to visit which is twice a year. LOL.. And I guess that I do. I really don't make it unless Papa is here because he loves them as well.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite food is the Idaho potato. Potato salad,double baked, baked,scalloped, fried, roasted-Any Way! My husband has been to your state and wanted to retire there. I'm on board with that except for a 4 yo grandchild. Maybe someday,
ReplyDeleteNice job on the Idaho plate! Love me some french fries. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteinfo(at)cocoplumbeachhouse(dot)com
I love potatoes! They can be prepared is so many ways!
ReplyDeleteWe spent one night and day in Idaho a few years back and visited the Potato Museum in Blackfoot before spending the night in Idaho Falls. It is truly a beautiful state and wish we could have spent more time there. I highly recommend the museum and they gave us a package of freeze-dried hash browns to take home. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about potatoes?! I especially love baked and shredded hash browns. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteMy dog, Issa and I love potatoes any way you can prepare them! Several years ago I went to Driggs, Idaho on business. Wow, what a lovely town!
ReplyDeletePotatoes are good just about any way they are served, but I guess my favorite is roasted with Sea Salt and Olive Oil. Love your creation.
ReplyDeletePotatoes are awesome. I make potato skins, baked potato soup, potato and bacon pizza, and many more things with potatoes. I love the colors you used on the license plate block!
ReplyDeleteForget the fabric, just send the candy bars to this homesick Idaho native!
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes... Any which way. Must be my Irish heritage :)
ReplyDeletePotatoes are a great thing. My special needs son would eat French Fries every day if we'd let him.
ReplyDeleteGreat plate! What's not to like about potatoes?! They are tasty and inexpensive. I used to be a vegetarian in the 70's and 80's and often found the only thing I could eat on a menu was a green salad and a baked potato. It made it possible for me to eat out with my friends and enjoy my meal. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your design! And what's a meal without potatoes, especially an Idaho baked potato? Needless to say, not a complete meal! I have never been to Idaho, but it is on my bucket list! Have a great day! Donna (chavesdm@msn.com)
ReplyDeleteYour plate turned out wonderful! What can one say about potatoes except pure love! Baked, fried, mashed, with cheese and bacon, au gratin, hashed, scalloped, in soup - doesn't matter - potatoes are great!
ReplyDeleteLove your block and it's awesome to see the tractor right outside your door. Favorite potatoes - French fries. Five Guys is a yummy place to have lunch. They have a sign of where they bought their potatoes and they are always from Idaho, they specify the farm, it's cool.
ReplyDeleteI love that about Five Guys too!!
Deletesuper cute plate! This is a fun blog tour....thanks! Potatoes....funeral potatoes - you know what I mean! xxoo
ReplyDeleteOh, the potato--the most versatile vegetable of all! Great design, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love spuds -- especially fully loaded baked taters!
ReplyDeleteIdaho potatoes are the only kind of potato that I love to bake.No other kind has the taste of this potato
ReplyDeletehere is a funny... I never made the connection that Ore-Ida potatoes was for the Oregon and Idaho area they came from originally!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Idaho! And I love my taters, in every shape and form!
ReplyDeletePotato - sliced, diced, baked, fried are just a few way to enjoy it.
ReplyDelete24Tangent "at" gmail "dot" com
I love my taters any way you fix em. I have driven through Idaho but never really stopped any where. When hubs retires we plan to visit every state and explore.
ReplyDeletePotatoes (any way you fix 'em) are my comfort food. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMissing Idaho here! Your block is cute. Love the aqua and green.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite dishes is fried potatoes and eggs. Yum!!!
We never end a visit 'home' without buying box of potatoes. Once we flew and the airline was pretty curious about box full of roundish objects. Imagine their surprise upon searching to discover POTATOES!!
Hi!!!! Very pretty license plate!!!! I do love the colors!!!! Potatoes go with everything!!!!
ReplyDeletePotatoes - my husband considers them a vegetable! Every meal needs bread and potatoes according to him! Love your block - great job!
ReplyDeleteI like potatoes diced up with creamy mayonnaise,
ReplyDeleteServed up with salad on really hot summer days.
But I don't like potatoes which have been boiled:
From potatoes, cooked this way, in horror, I recoil.
written by Angela Wybrow...not me. But I wholeheatedly agree with her.:) Tammy P in MN....missing Spud Days people!
My very favorite side dish is a baked potatoe. Not nuked in the microwave, but BAKED in that old fashioned thing call an OVEN!!! Wrapped in foil, with a bit of butter on the skin to make the skin crispy...eat the potatoe then add a bit of cheese to the crust and have potatoe skins! A great meal in itself! Thanks Idaho!!!

My husband keeps dropping hints for mashed potatoes (blech). I did buy just picked new potatoes and kale at the farmers markets and cooked th together -yum!

ReplyDeleteLove potatoes! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletePotatoes are one of my favorite foods! Nothing better than mashed potatoes and gravy or a baked potato with sour cream and real butter. :D Thank you for the chance to win some of this fabulous fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I could live off just the potato. My doctors might disagree, but it is by far my favorite food. It is also my brothers fav food too and when we were younger we would fight over who got second servings. I love mashed, smashed, fried, baked, scalloped, hashed, you name it! I heart spuds.
ReplyDeleteYour bright block is absolutely gorgeous!! Hugs from Texas!!
ReplyDeleteLove 'em mashed or as chunky skins-on oven fries. Great job on the license plate.
ReplyDeleteI love fresh cut fries!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's side of the family owns a ranch and a bunch of farmland in Idaho. Their potaotes are the best by far no matter how you cook them.
ReplyDeletePotatoes are a mainstay, but the Idahp Spud is unique. A friend who moved to Idaho from Lake Tahoe send me a whole box o "spuds" for Christmas. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have hit a soft spot in my heart. I LOVE potatoes. In any fashion or form. I can make a meal from a baked Idaho potato any day of the week!

ReplyDeleteBorn and raised on potatoes, they are a staple in my house. Baked, twice baked, made from scratch hash browns, mad from scratch scalloped and cheesey. Yum.

ReplyDeleteI'm of Irish heritage so potatoes are in my blood, and usually on my dinner plate. And let's not talk about my weakness for potato chips!
ReplyDeleteSince I don't eat gluten, potatoes are a big part of my diet. And I love them no matter how they are prepared!
ReplyDeleteI have always adored potatoes, I especially loved them baked, mashed and stuffed back in the shells.

ReplyDeletePotatoes are my downfall!! I love them anyway they are cooked! French fries, mashed, fried, hash browns, augratin, scalloped, ect. :)
ReplyDeletecraftyccain@gmail.com
Potatoes are a great favorite at our house! Love potato salad!
ReplyDeleteI am sure I can not grow potatoes here in PA as well as you do in Idaho, but there is nothing better than a fresh dug potato. I feed a large family and when I have used all we have planted, I buy my potatoes in 50 lb. bags.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a way you could cook a potato that I would not thoroughly enjoy
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes! They are my favorite food : ) I love oven roasted baby potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, french fries, etc.

I just made baked potatoes last night from Idaho, with bacon, broccoli, cheese, onions and butter. Love the potatoes a meal all by themselves

ReplyDeleteI come from the San Luis Valley in Colorado. We also raise a lot of potatoes.
ReplyDeleteenjoying the blog tour and the chance to win some fabric.
I spent a couple of weeks in Boise in January and had one of those ginormous potatoes. The high school kids were selling them by the case for a fundraiser. Pretty funny to a midwesterner.
ReplyDeleteWith three kids, we eat a lot of potatoes! Especially fries. :-) Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove your license plate and love those potatoes. How would we live without French Fries, Tater Tots and mashed yummies.
ReplyDeleteI have some Idahoan in me - on my dad's side so that explains my love of potatoes - any kind of potato, fixed any old way- might say I love potatoes as much as I love fabric....
ReplyDeleteHave potatoes growing in my garden. They don't grow as big as they do in Idaho but love them all the same.

ReplyDeleteGreat fun colors! You are not in a color rut, that is for sure

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen an Idaho Spud bar in years! Probably because I now love my potatos mashed. Cute plate!
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes, esp. those waffle fries from Chik-fil-a.
ReplyDeleteI have been making rosemary potato packets on the grill lately....sooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe are big Idaho fans over here. Most of my husbands family is from Shelley, Idaho.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I still think it's a little strange that my husband considers potatoes to be a "main dish" and steak or chicken to be a "side."
Super fun license plate for Idaho! LOVE it!! Exclude me from your giveaway, but I personally love the state. From Bonners Ferry (great little town with LOVELY people) to Coeur d'Alene (great Farmer's Market, great restaurants, lovely outdoor living), Boise to Sun Valley to name a few places I've been. I just have to say all the towns that end in "Falls" keep me on my toes when visiting, but how else would hydropower be such a big part of the economy? Oh and potatoes? Love any type tossed in olive oil, garlic & onion powder, oregano, salt and pepper then roasted in the oven. Yummo!
ReplyDeleteWe love Idaho potato it the only kind we buy!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, cheese fries, mashed potatoes with garlic and parmesean, home fries, baked, any way you slice them, potatoes are yummy.
ReplyDeletedragonfly9716 at yahoo dot com

Funny - I'm sitting @ my desk over lunch here, eating some homemade mashed potatoes :) Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteCute block! I love baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and potato soup!
ReplyDeleteCorrie, Your block is just adorable. Love how you made the state all scrappy. I used to have a summer job sorting none other than - Potatoes. Although, they were not Idaho potatoes. Great block!
ReplyDeleteBeing from mid-Missouri I've seen many green tractors, but I've never seen that piece of equipment. Is it by chance a potato digger? Love new potatoes from my garden. They just shout summer!
ReplyDeleteMy brother served a mission for our church in Idaho, in the Boise mission. He mailed home a potato that was HUGE! I have never seen anything like it, before or since! I don't know what my parents did with the potato, but it could have fed our family of 9 quite nicely :)
ReplyDeleteI love a garlic dill potato. Steam up the potato and drench in garlic and dill butter....yum!!
ReplyDeleteLove baked potatoes anytime, and potato soup in the winter.....drooling.
ReplyDeleteTaters make great funeral potatoes
ReplyDelete"A comment about potatoes"? How in the world could I keep that to a comment when potatoes are so wonderful that you could write a whole speech about them?! Not only do they come in different and fun colors (I love the purple ones) but they just fill a culinary niche that no other veggie can. I love them fried, baked, steamed, in soups, in casseroles....I think I may have just changed our dinner plans! lol Thanks for hosting, I love your block! pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteWell this is an easy comment, because I LOVE potatoes. My favorite is mashed garlic potatoes with gravy. I could live on that alone. I would choose that for dessert!!!!
ReplyDeletekeels@mvdsl.com
One of my earliest memories is driving to Idaho and seeing fields and fields of what I was told were potatoes. But I never saw any chips hanging off the plants, just little flowers so I didn't believe my dad. Love Idaho. Living in Utah I've visited more than once. Great state. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust made potato salad the other day, already gone. We sure love Idaho potatoes over here in WA. Thank-you
ReplyDeletewe love those potato's, thanks

ReplyDeleteI lived in northern Idaho for ten years. Idaho potatoes were imported as a fundraiser by various groups.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than a baked potato with sour cream,butter and chives.Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteA couple years ago my husband and I drove from Walla Walla to Tucson and tried to pick up some item from each state representing that state for my brother-in-law, and of course, we just had to get some Idaho Russets! They paired well with our Walla Walla Sweet Onions. I have attending your retreat on my wish list, someday it will happen!
ReplyDelete~Brandy
Mashed potatoes have ALWAYS been my favorite food and ALWAYS will be!
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes even more than I used to. I have gone gluten free, so they are my go-to carb!
ReplyDeletePotatoes are a great comfort food around here. As long as I fix mashed potatoes & lots of gravy at Thanksgiving or Christmas, my husband is happy. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove those spuds! We planted some in the garden several years ago and now get a crop every year from the "leftovers" that didn't get dug up the year before. Very convenient!
ReplyDeletelove breakfast potatoes...especially hash browns...but then, I love all types of potatoes...thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI like to bake a potato after slicing lengthwise, adding salt, pepper, and a bay leaf, then wrapping in foil. When I eat it, I top it with only a little butter, but a LOT of fresh lemon juice - very light!
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes. you did a great block! thanks
ReplyDeleteI really love the colors you used! Idaho is a state I have not been to, yet, but it is on my list! Your post made me think it would be my kind of place! Be sure to check out my block for Nebraska on June 12! RenaissanceSandi.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe potato is a wonderful food. It can be prepared in a multitude of ways and is good for you, too! Great block, going to have baked potatoes tonight, I think.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to visit Idaho, but I have enjoyed one of those Idaho Spuds candies. I love potatoes, especially for breakfast (usually wrapped in a burrito with green chile, eggs and cheese)
ReplyDeleteCute license plate! Are those Idaho counties? As for potatoes: baked, fried, mashed, roasted--all yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! I like potatoes just about any way you can make them! A favorite way would have to be twice baked!

ReplyDeletePotatoes are a favorite with my guys, boiled, baked, mashed, scalloped, fried, as a chip...any and all ways are wonderful. Thanks for the chance at the giveaways.

ReplyDeleteDiced potatoes coated with a small amount of olive oil, sprinkled with spices and roasted are as good as french fries.
ReplyDeleteBaked potatoes smothered with butter, sour cream with broccoli. A favorite in our home. Love the bright colors of this fabric.

I never met a potato I didn't like! As a kid, when we ate out, I might not eat all the meat, but I always finished the potato!
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Idaho several times once in Idaho Falls for 6 months and once in Arco for close to 4 years - one thing about the Idaho potato people outside of the state might not know is that (back in the early 70's anyhow) is that kids were let out of school for 2 weeks in early? October to help with the potato harvest - I always thought that was pretty cool
ReplyDeletemy favorite veggie!!! Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid driving through Idaho I didn't quite understand the potato thing. But that is because we were usually driving through the potato farming area late at night when I was sleeping. As an adult driving through I could not get over how big the plants for processing were.
ReplyDeleteI love potatoes, no matter how they are cooked, but especially love potato pancakes. Never been to Idaho and probably never will (I'm in western NY).
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love potatoes!!
