Thursday, 29th September: For those not in the know, October 1st is Ireland’s National Potato Day - the annual celebration of one of the Emerald Isle’s most iconic symbols. To mark the momentous occasion, Deliveroo and Scoop Dessert Parlour have collaborated to make Ireland’s first potato milk ice cream.

Potato milk caught the imagination of the country earlier this year when it first reached these shores. Yes, this appeeling (excuse the pun) new plant based innovation struck a chord with a nation that loves elevating the humble spud to new heights.

Let’s face it, Ireland takes potatoes seriously. In fact, some people have made a national sport out of ranking different forms of potato, from worst to best. Deliveroo are weighing in on this debate by revealing some of the most popular potato dishes on the Deliveroo app:

  • Potato Masala Dosa from Dosa Dosa
  • Home-Made Potato Pie from C.F. Lennox Weekend
  • Japchae (stir-fried Korean sweet potato noodles) from Han Sung Restaurant
  • Fries from Wowburger
  • Chips from Yeeros

    Punters looking to mark National Potato Day can order this delectable and truly unique Rosemary and Potato gelato, made with potato milk and fresh Rosemary. We are sure this new potato milk ice-cream will soon be taking a top spot among the most popular potato dishes!

    Breffney Brass, Country Manager, Deliveroo Ireland says: “Deliveroo knows that Ireland’s national vegetable really punches above its weight. Potatoes are the bedrock of so many classic takeaway dishes, no wonder they have their own national day of celebration! It’s been a blast working with Scoop Dessert Parlour to come up with a brand new potato inspired ice-cream.”

    The unique ice cream will be available for a limited time from Deliveroo. It is available from Saturday, 1st October until stocks last, priced at €3.50 per scoop.
