August 23, 2012 in Giveaways
The second annual National Potato Day on Saturday 25 August will see the Keogh family help to encourage the people of Ireland to revisit their roots and grow their love for the humble spud by eating one portion of potatoes this Saturday.
To mark this unique day in Ireland’s calendar, Keoghs are bringing a taste of their farm and its spud specialties from Oldtown, North County Dublin to the north quays of the River Liffey. A special marquee dedicated to the spud will be in place during the Tall Ships Races in Dublin from today, Thursday 23 August, until Sunday 26 August.
Keogh’s iconic I LOVE SPUD t-shirts and tote bags will be available, there will be demonstrations on how versatile the spud is with nutritional information, delicious and quirky recipes and many more spud surprises There might even be a few free samples of Keogh’s crisps and potato goodies.
On top of all this fun, Keogh’s will encourage people to show their support for the spud and sign their petition to make the potato the official vegetable of Ireland! The petition can be found at: www.keoghs.ie/potatopetition

Words can’t express how much I love potatoes, but once you see the look on my face when I win this competition, you’ll understand.

Salted, roasted, fried or mashed life without the spud is trash

I’m coeliac and I can’t eat gluten so potatoes are one of the few things I can eat and I use them in each possible way. Not just only one but different potatoes days for me!

I Love spuds, they are better for you than rice and pasta!! Yum!
Bill said on August 23, 2012
I love their versatility: mash ‘em, boil’em, shred ‘em, roast’em, … Can’t beat the potato!
Ketty said on August 23, 2012
Ireland made me a potato addict! As long as we have spuds, we’re grand!
Ethna Reynolds said on August 23, 2012
I love, love, love potatoes! They make cooking such a joy as they are such an essential part of everyday cuisine the world over! Indian Bombay dishes, Thai Yellow curry, Italian Gnocchi, Spanish Tortilla, Canadian Poutine and of course the worldwide favourite, the French fry! Once I have a few spuds in my kitchen, I am spoilt for choice on what to cook!
Deborah said on August 23, 2012
I am Irish, therfore I LOVE potatoes.
Anna said on August 23, 2012
Potatoes are my favourite food. I just spent the summer in Toronto and can honestly say the thing I missed most was an Irish spud.
Once I went into a restaurant and instead of a main course got all the different types of side orders of potatoes they had. Herb roasted. Garlic and cheese. A kind of hammy cheesy bake thing. And my personal favourite, champ. It was a good meal
Plus my best friend is a crispoholic and connoisseur so I’d love to win to share them with her!
Linda said on August 23, 2012
I love spuds more than chocolate!
emer said on August 23, 2012
Potatoes are simply the best! I love them any way at all – boiled, fried, mashed, crisps, chips, baked, croquettes – the ultimate comfort food! I was brought up on a diet of meat, veg and spuds and i never got sick of them! I’ve never tried Keoghs but i’d really love to

Big fan if your crisps here. I loved them at taste of Dublin and now they are in my Dunnes

Want to know the extent of my love for potatoes? Let me list the reaons for you.
- I would happily live off potatoes for the rest of my life. That’s right – breakfast, lunch and dinner (and obviously as a regular snack)
- I’ll give you one guess as to who my favourite character in Toy Story was (that’s right, Mr Potato Head)
- I have two cats, one of whom is called Spud! (I kid you not)
- Finally, without wanting to sound too boastful, you are looking at the 1998 potato and spoon race champion in my Primary School’s sports day.
And if I win this I would perhaps consider getting a tattoo of a potato on my backside (only consider though!

I’ve just returned from a year travelling the world, 6 weeks in Peru and Bolivia where they grow more than 3000 types of potatoe, though no potatoes I tasted compared to our own. My first meal included “queens” little balls of flour!

I love potatoes, whether they’re boiled with a bit of butter, mashed with milk, roasted in olive oil or freshly fried! I love them in a curry, as potato cakes, when feeling fancy in a gratin and i love them even more as leftovers. Spuds make a meal!
