In parts of the American South, people still specify Irish potato when they mean a regular white potato — distinguishing it from the sweet potato, which is equally common on the table. The qualifier dates back to the 19th century, when mass Irish immigration made potatoes so associated with Irish culture that the plain old spud needed a surname. Regional but charming.
