Dependable Taurus craves the comfort of potatoes au gratin and splurges on the finest Gruyère cheese. As an earth sign, they know that potatoes are good for the planet, producing the most food with the least amount of water of any major crop.

Leo prefers the dramatic shape of the Hasselback potato, which brings flare to any plate.

Practical Virgo uses their own no-fail technique to roast enough potatoes for dinner plus more left over for bowls and burritos later in the week. Virgo also knows potatoes count toward the 2-3 servings of vegetables they meticulously eat daily.

Symmetry-loving Libra appreciates the two matching halves of a baked potato sliced down the middle, but the number of potential topping choices can leave them feeling a bit indecisive!
