You might not think potatoes are a luxury food, however, these posh spuds can be sold for as much as $569 per kilogram (2.2lbs). They grow only in the mineral-rich soil of the small French island of Noirmoutier and are only in season for around a week in early May. They're harvested by hand three months after planting and have a distinctive salty flavor that is said to pair well with caviar.
