Poll: What's your favourite way to eat potatoes?

Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew.

THE GREAT AND the good from the world of spuds will be converging on Ireland next week when the World Potato Congress rolls into town.

The focus of the congress is to bring the global potato community together and its overarching theme this year is the “changing world of the potato”.
