I always wondered what the Irish ate before the potato was introduced! And I didn't realize that potatoes were once so integral to Maine's economy. Interesting. Plus I love that you did research in an old encyclopedia.
The French have hundreds of varieties, and God forbid if you cook the wrong one with a particular dish. Thank you as always, fun filled recipes. And great stories. Jx
I love Colcannon and often have it in a pie shell, mashed potatoes on top with cheddar cheese. Yum. I'm getting hungry now... Thanks for a mouthwatering post!!
Ahhh, I love a potato! Coincidentally my selection for today's Archivist Presents slot in my day job was this - https://youtu.be/7PNzvHqNEmk - a poem to the potato!
If St. Patrick went to Maine we would have had gnocchi.

Love Colcannon!
love this! Just started to read Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire which also tells this potato story, although I haven't gotten there yet
Just plain WONDERFUL 💖
