Sly, you right about the potatoes, but how do they grow potatoes in the desert anyway. Are they imported?

Most potatoes are from Al-Hasa city in the eastern province, where there are dozens of huge potato farms as the weather there is perfect for farming.

Also, for the best quality fruits and vegetables, I'd suggest going to the North Riyadh market.
