Yeah I know but the whole love for Potatoes comes from the fact that back before the famine (and why the failing potato crops actually caused a famine for Irish people) Irish people were only eating potatoes because they mostly only had tiny plots of land to try and grow food to survive on and Potatoes were the only way they could produce enough to live on. Basically, why irish people are linked with Potatoes in the first place was to avoid starvation while working for British land
