Featured Idaho® Potato Farmer: Mary Hasenoehrl
This month’s featured farmer is fourth generation potato farmer, Mary Hasenoehrl from Lewistown, Idaho. Mary is the first female grower to be appointed by the Governor to serve on the Idaho Potato Commission. An industry leader and a sustainable farming advocate for many years, Mary is proud to raise a healthy food that feeds the world. “There is no better satisfaction than walking into a field, digging up a potato plant and seeing the high quality potatoes the plant has produced.” Mary’s favorite way to eat a Russet Burbank potato is baked with a little butter and salt, but a close second is skin-on French fries.

Ask Dr. Potato
Q: Why do my potatoes turn pink after peeling?
A: There are a number of reasons, but the most common one is actually a chemical reaction. When the potato’s enzymes are exposed to oxygen, the potato automatically discolors. The potatoes are perfectly fine to eat. Sometimes the discoloration is more pronounced when the potatoes are grated or come in contact with iron.
Here are a few tips to reduce discoloration. Use sharp knives or potato peelers, as dull blades can bruise the potatoes. Immediately submerge cut potatoes in chilled water that it is a tad acidic -- concentrated lemon juice and white wine vinegar work well. And, try to prepare the potatoes as quickly as possible after cutting.
