The Potato
The Roadside Potatohead
Harborside shop spun off from the famous McCarthy food truck; the breakfast burrito and Spudnik, the fries version of biscuits and gravy, are the most popular.
The Potato was originally called Roadside Potatohead. In 2014 it opened a second location in Valdez overlooking Small Boat Harbor. Order at the window and pick up your food when your name is called. Signature items include breakfast burritos, hand-cut curly fries, hand-pulled pork baguettes and the Spudnik, which swaps biscuits for fries and is topped with gravy. Served breakfast, lunch and dinner at affordable prices. Open only from about early May to mid-September, roughly 7:00–21:00, on North Harbor Drive by the water, within walking distance.
