Potato consumption in the United States is at an all-time high, and industry officials say global demand for American potatoes continues to grow. “A lot of the new consumption over the past decade has come from imported potato products, which is one of the things we’re trying to address, but the good news is that consumers in the United States and around the world love potatoes,” said Blair Richardson, CEO, Potatoes USA. Richardson says potatoes are still America’s favorite vegetable. “We have been since 2017, and I’m very happy to defend that position. They’re flexible, they’re versatile, they’re highly nutritious, and very dense.”
