Or they are geniuses.
This is the ice cream potato. I know what you're thinking "Ali! That's a fucking potato! BAKED! BAKED POTATO!"
Wrong. Oh so wrong. It's a ball of ice cream rolled in cocoa powder to look like a glorious Idaho potato. Topped with whipped cream to look like sour cream.
Then they put hot fudge on the plate with crushed Oreos and almonds. So the potato resemblances stop there.
According to my roommate from Idaho, these glorious examples of American decadence are served at fairs but they are served year round at the West Side Diner prepared by a man mysteriously known as only Chef Lou.
Chef Lou can also ship 4 or 6 oz ice cream potatoes anywhere in the country in packs of 24.
I never have been so proud to be an American. I want to travel to Idaho and eat one of these monstrous pinnacle of deception. This dessert is modern art.
Don't even get me started on the mystery that is Idaho fry sauce. My roommate mentioned it so casually, I'm ashamed I don't know what it is. (But according to it's description, it seems to be ketchup and mayo or Thousand Island Dressing, but still mysterious)
