Parking in Boise?

I agree, Yukon gold and red potatoes are the way to go for most situations, nothing beats a Russet as far as baked potatoes.

I am trying to cut back on my potato consumption. Starch-filled, diabetes-inducing calorie bombs.

We used to visit Big Jud's in Archer way back when it first opened. I had my pic on the wall. It's actually a pretty tasty burger. And Jud is big. As was his fullet rocking wife.

Me too. I went a couple of times when I was in high school (once was a mutual night activity, the other involved skipping seminary with a bunch of friends). Both times, I successfully completed the Single Big Jud challenge and got my picture on the wall. I can attest that Jud is a large man. I got a kick out of one of the meals on the menu. IIRC, it was a double big jud, drink, fries, and dessert that consisted of a ridiculous amount of ice cream--like 1/2 gallon.

I eat at the Boise Big Jud's every once in a while b/c I think the burgers are great but unfortunately my days of eating a full pound of beef, plus the huge bun, the fries, and drink in 30 minutes are long gone.

I ate at the new location once and it is much improved from the old place.

The biggest surprise about Big Jud's is that that big ass burger is actually delicious. If I lived in Idaho and needed to gain weight ASAP that would be my first stop.

Now you're just being mean. Open your mind JL.


Are potatoes healthy? Yes they are!
It’s a surprise for many to discover one medium potato (5.3 oz) with the skin contains:

45 percent of the daily value for vitamin C
More potassium (620 mg) than even bananas, spinach, or broccoli;
10 percent of the daily value of B6;
Trace amounts of thiamine, riboflavin, folate, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, and zinc
…and all this for just 110 calories and no fat, sodium orcholesterol.

More surprising facts:

Potatoes are a vegetable. The popular tuber counts toward the total recommended servings of vegetables. One medium-sized potato (5.3 oz.) counts as 1 cup of starchy vegetables (www.myplate.gov).

Overall diet quality can be improved when adults and children consume (non-fried) white potatoes. Research released in April 2011 using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2008 demonstrates meals that contain potatoes contain more servings of other vegetables, and are significantly higher in potassium, fiber and vitamin C.

Potatoes are a complex carbohydrate. The majority of carbohydrates in potatoes are complex carbohydrates, your body’s main energy source.

Only about 20% of the potato’s nutrition is found in the skin. In fact, most of the vitamin C and potassium are found in the potato’s flesh, but that good for-you fiber is found in the skin. That’s why it’s best to enjoy every part of the spud.

Potatoes can be part of a weight loss regimen. Research released by the University of California, Davis and the National Center for Food Safety and Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology in October 2010 demonstrates that people can include potatoes in their diet and still lose weight. The results of this study confirm what health professionals and nutrition experts have said for years; when it comes to weight loss, it is not about eliminating a certain food or food groups, rather, it is reducing calories that count.

Potatoes contain antioxidants. The amount and type depend on the variety of potato, but the predominant antioxidants are certain carotenoids and anthocyanins.

There easy and healthy ways to prepare potatoes so they stay nutritious. Try topping a baked potato with salsa, steamed vegetables, and low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt. Consider mashing potatoes with low-fat chicken broth. Potatoes roasted with olive oil, garlic, and a touch of herbs are delicious. For more great ideas, visit our recipe section.

Potatoes are vegetables and they provide significant amounts of potassium and vitamin C. One medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato contains just 110 calories per serving, has more potassium (620mg) than a banana, provides almost half the daily value of itamin C (45 percent), and contains no fat, sodium or cholesterol.

Potatoes are the largest and most affordable source of potassium in the produce department. Research released in September 2011, also using data from NHANES 2001-2008, shows potatoes are one of the best nutritional values in the produce department, providing significantly better nutritional value per dollar than most other raw vegetables.Both the 2005 and 2010 USDA Dietary Guidelines identified potassium as a shortfall nutrient in the diets of Americans.

Potatoes are part of a healthful diet. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines have always shown that potatoes can be part of a well-balanced diet. So, enjoy your favorite vegetable!

I went for a stretch in college where I had almost no money at all. I mean like almost zero. One of the ways I survived was to buy generic brand mac and cheese boxes (they were like 15 cents) and cook them and add the cheese mix in but without milk or butter. The other strategy used was to buy a 5 lb. bag of potatoes (they were cheap) and a jar of yellow mustard. Bake the taters and eat them with mustard. It prevented starvation but also helped with weight control. Win-win!

Maybe I should add this to the "thanks Idaho!" thread. There is one, right?

I can identify with this.

About 50 feet from the old one.

If you're not quite up to eating a pound of meat you may want to try Cobby's Sandwich Shops and order a #23. The one across from the stadium is the best. I miss that place.

After reading this yesterday I was inspired to go to the store last night and buy 10 lbs of Idaho russets. It helped that they were 99 cents for each 5 lb bag.

Should we be eating potatoes during the game as a show of dominance over our Boise friends?

[Clark Addison]

Appropriate that a Boise game thread starts with requests for parking information and devolves into a potato discussion.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I am going to avoid potatoes that day.

Choke on it, potato farmers!
