Irish Food
Irish Potato
The white potato, on of the major starch sources worldwide, is not native to Ireland but originated in South America. Because of its popularity in Ireland, the tuber was called an Irish potato by earlier American generations to distinguish it from sweet potatoes, and because the potato was so closely associated with the Irish diet after the Great Potato Famine.
