However, GM russets are typically not sold on supermarket shelves, like all other GM foods, they are used mainly for processed food items like instant potatoes, bag soups, or frozen dishes. At one point after McDonalds rejected the GM russet for their fries, I though funding for that project failed. Hopefully they didn't restart it but my brain says otherwise, I am sure they have been making GM russets for some time even after the McDonalds scandal.

Idaho is known for its potatoes. It is the largest producer of potatoes in the United States. The russet potato is the most grown potato in Idaho.
