Potatopia (CLOSED)

The potato moves from side dish to center of the plate at this spuds-focused fast-casual joint. Four potato varieties (russet, red bliss, Kennebec and jumbo yam) are available in nine different styles, including mashed, au gratin, shoestring and baked. Choose from gussied-up toppings, like Pat LaFrieda grass-fed steak, asiago cheese and mushrooms, along with house-made sauces such as garlic aioli, chipotle ketchup and curry. Create your own combo or opt for a signature dish, like the "Frequent Friers": salt-and-pepper shoestring fries with Parmesan, parsley and garlic. A custom-made tap system dispenses organic sodas, which you can sip with your tater at a steel-framed butcher-block table.
