Did you know the world's most expensive potato is La Bonnotte, a rare French spud that can cost up to $500 to $700 per pound? (In 1996 auction, a small batch sold for roughly $3,050 total, cementing its record-breaking status. They only grow on a restricted 50-square-meter plot of sandy land on the Île de Noirmoutier off the Atlantic coast of France. The soil is heavily enriched with natural algae and seaweed, giving the potato a unique, savory flavor with hints of lemon, salt, and walnut. Because the skins are extremely delicate, machines cannot be used; every single potato is picked by hand during a brief one-to-two-week window each year.)
