In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie, Chef Luke Zahm takes you on a deep dive into the farm-to-table journey of one of the Midwest’s most essential crops. Step into the kitchen with Chef Luke as he transforms these humble spuds into a high-end culinary masterpiece featuring a silky potato purée, crispy thousand-layer potatoes, and black truffle-infused confit. 

But before the magic happens on the plate, we take you back to where it all begins: Sterling Farms – Meet Wisconsin potato farmers who use sustainable growing practices to produce some of the best potatoes in the country. Alsum Farms & Produce – Go behind the scenes at a potato packing facility, where technology and tradition ensure these farm-fresh potatoes reach kitchens nationwide.
