Which state makes the most potatoes?

Answer 1

Michigan is the largest producer in the United States of potatoes used for potato chips.

Michigan producers grew nearly 100 million dollars worth of potatoes. They're not the BIGGEST potato producer in the United States-they're tenth. Yet Michigan grows a special kind of potatoes-Snowden, Pike, Atlantic and Frito-Lay varieties most commonly used for chips.

Three quarters of Michigan's potato crop is used for potato chips. And potato chips are America's most popular snack food.

While one might think that it's the state of Idaho, the fact is Idaho potatoes don't really make very good chips.
