I'm sorry I had to throw in a joke or two, moving on

Did you know: Potatoes were first cultivated around 8,00 B.C. to 5,000 B.C.

And another thing?

French Fries were introduced to the U.S. when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his Presidency of 1801-1809. Collinet, chef for French King Louis Phillipe (reign 1830-1848) unintentionally created soufflés (or puffed) potatoes by plunging already fried potatoes into extremely hot oil(Fact from potatosusa.com) Honestly I wonder how long it'd take for someone to make french fries if someone didn't accidently fuck it up. Something to think about I'd assume.

But now that we are reaching the end, you up for one more dish?

This tie it'll be Fully Loaded Baked Potato Soup! (You can find this dish here https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/guy-fieri/fully-loaded-baked-potato-soup-recipe-3381409 )

And while we are here did you know that: Research suggests that diets rich in potassium and low in sodium reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke.(Fact from farmfreshdirect.com)
