The Big Idaho® Potato Truck tour is in full swing! In May, the Truck made a pit stop at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the ProMazda Series 6 Race. This famous speedway is known for its iconic Pagoda - the most recognized structure in worldwide motorsports! The Pagoda (pictured above) is a state-of-the-art tower with nine tiers that reaches a height equal to a 13-story building. The tower is centered on the raceway’s start/finish line and is used for race control, safety, timing, scoring and radio broadcast booths. Spud-loving motorsport fans enjoyed hanging out with the Tater Team and contributing to the Truck’s charitable component, ‘A Big Helping’, which raised funds for the local Kids On Track program.

Q: I am hosting Father’s Day dinner and would like to add baked potatoes to the menu. I am already planning to cook a ham in the oven at 250°F. If I bake potatoes at the same time as the ham, how long will it take?
A: The more dishes you put in the oven, the longer it will take to cook. I’d allow the Idaho® potatoes two hours to cook alongside the ham. If they’re not fully done after two hours, you can always put them in the microwave to finish.
If you are not baking two food items at once, the typical oven temperature for baking an Idaho® potato is 400°F. A potato is fully cooked when it reaches 210°F.
