Julie & Julia Meets The Idaho Potato Commission.
It’s Shelly & The Idaho Potato Commission — A shortened, simplified version of Julie & Julia, if you will. In far-reaching comparison, I prepared all recipes in the Idaho Potato Commission’s Recipe Photo Contest detailed in the Press Release below, and similarly learned a lot from it. I now await the results. The Idaho Potato and Fresh Asparagus Soup photo above was not entered in the contest, but its recipe is (1) of (10) to be made by month’s end.
Calling all enthusiastic home cooks and shutterbugs! The Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is now hosting a bigger and better-than-ever recipe photo contest, featuring 10 recipes, 10 opportunities to win, and a total of $5,000 in cash prizes.

About the Idaho Potato Commission Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous Grown in Idaho® seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho’s growing season of warm days and cool nights, ample mountain-fed irrigation and rich volcanic soil, give Idaho® potatoes their unique texture, taste and dependable performance. These ideal growing conditions are what differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states. For more information, visit: www.idahopotato.com.
