Everybody knows that one of the staples of a leprechaun’s diet is the potato. What may be less well known is their favorite way of preparing it: mashed, with plenty of cream and butter and a hefty pinch of salt from the Irish Sea. Simple, hearty, and delicious. Leprechauns have enjoyed a good bowl of mashed potatoes since time immemorial — and they’re not about to give them up now.

That’s not to say leprechaun tastes haven’t evolved over the millennia. Fresh fruit and vegetables are more popular among the little folk (zucchini and bell peppers are particular favorites), and French fries have earned a solid second place in their potato rankings. They’ve also embraced a wider range of potatoes, from North American russets to yellows, reds…even the occasional purple. Leprechaun palates, it turns out, are quite adventurous.

Even so, quality is one area where they won’t chance their luck. Leprechauns insist on the finest potatoes for their feasts and source them from the world’s very best growers and packers.
