There are amazing potatoes out there.

I got some dry-farmed potatoes from Little Organic Farm at  Berkeley Bowl and they were mind-blowingly good, altering the my view of the potato's capacity to be flavorful.  I previously thought of potatoes as just a bland starch to be used as a palette for other flavors. But these have a vivid earthy flavor that is amazing even without salt, pepper, or butter (although they are still a welcome addition).
