National Potato Month

September

September is National Potato Month in the U.S., a perfect cue to explore the spud’s versatility. Fresh new-crop potatoes arrive with thin skins and sweet, earthy flavor, while storage russets and Yukon Golds shine in mashes, fries, and gratins. Roast wedges in a hot oven, mash with warm milk and butter, or pan-fry into golden hash browns. Try potato leek soup, latkes, or crispy patatas bravas for weeknights and tailgates. Store potatoes cool and dark, rinse off excess starch for crisper fries, and save peels for crunchy snacks or stock.
