A foodstuff so universally loved by the people on this island that everyone else on the planet thinks it's the only thing we actually eat, the potato is in need of a make over if it is to compete with rice, pasta, or any of the other carbs that just want to hug you, and never let you go.
Be it chipped, mashed, baked, or roasted, though, there is no denying how delicious a good spud is. But over on the Food, People, Places YouTube channel, the clever cooks and chefs have found 14 new ways to cook a potato, in what is the most dramatic food video you'll likely see this week.
