The campus and area around Wayne State University has changed over the years, but one thing that’s withstood the test of time is the Potato Place. This restaurant dishes out yummy one-of-a-kind potatoes.
General Manager Mario Palushaj says his wife’s family took over the business about 13 years ago, long after it first opened. “The Potato Place has been here since at least 1987 that we know of, maybe a little bit before that,” Palushaj said.
He said they still use the same recipes, and have also added to the menu. Every potato is made to order, and customers can choose from 45 toppings from seafood to roasted veggies.
As you can imagine, after adding the ingredients, the potatoes can get pretty heavy, most weighing in at nearly 3 pounds.
The Potato Place is located at 107 W. Warren, Detroit.
