Idaho potatoes are quoted at $42.00 / 70CT case in the week of September 7, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 70CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 70CT pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Idaho potatoes are quoted in nine pack sizes this week, from $14.00 for the 10LB to $42.00 for the 40CT. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Idaho potatoes
In the New York trade, "Idaho" on a carton names a product as much as a place: the large russet baker, whatever shed it shipped from — Idaho itself, but also Maine, Long Island, Quebec, Washington and others across the storage season. The count is the whole specification. A carton is sold by how many potatoes are inside, and a steakhouse baking one per cover, a fryer program cutting sticks and a kitchen making purée are buying three different counts out of the same crop. Being a storage crop, the price shape is the long arc from harvest through the storage season, not a weekly weather story.
Buying notes
The supplier quotes counts from the largest bakers down to the smallest, plus a number-two carton and a small case, so on most weeks the count you specify moves your cost more than the market does. Compare counts on this page before concluding that potatoes have gone up.
