	ITINERARY Day 1- Located in Idaho Falls, Idaho Wada Farms boasts over 30,000 acres of rich Idaho Potato Fields. Our first visit was to the fields where the combines and field semi trucks were busying digging potatoes. Digging potatoes so fast they would fill a field semi truck to the brim in just about 2 minutes.	Do you know which variety potato should be used for each dish? Find out here with our great recipes!

	Day 2- After the trucks are unloaded at the processing facility, the potatoes are graded and loaded into silo's. Each silo can hold over 3.5 mil potatoes and Wada Farms has more than 50 of them!! Marc also visited the packaging plant and got to see tons of potatoes coming off the trucks.	Idaho Potatoes have a high solids content, so there is more potato and less water. The high quantity of starch grains cook to a light, fluffy texture and full, firm appearance.	In the processing plant, they process hundreds and hundreds of pounds of potatoes every day.
