Oh, no, that just will not do.

 

It's easy to see my Irish roots. I have never seen any preparation of potato I do not love.

I only eat them sporadically (unlike a friend, who grew up in the stereotypical Big Irish Family that went through 100 lbs/week) but you don't need to be a frequent binge-er on french fries or potato chips to see the problem with a major shortfall in production of a significant staple. Bad news for everyone.
