Taurus (April 20-May 20)
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.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
