Who knew? I heard it this morning on CBC Radio. I love potatoes! In all forms. I have long said they are the perfect food. The fact that my name, in it's original form would be Patty O'Toole has nothing to do with it. Actually, I'm genetically predisposed on both sides. Irish and German. Huge potato fans there.Seriously, you can do anything with a potato. Also, as is shown in the UN website, potatoes are a good staple that can help the world's food shortage problem. (As long as they are genetically diverse and therefore not all susceptible to the same diseases as what happened during the potato famine.)
Check out the website. http://www.potato2008.org/en/index.html I'm going to try the Chinese stir fried potatoes. I'm very excited about it! Oh and the website leads to links to other potato sites that are strangely fascinating!
Oh, I'm more than just a bit ashamed that the Canadian Government does not show up anywhere in the sponsor or supporters list!
