Since the first time they caught a ride on a Spanish ship from Peru, potatoes have taken the world on a wild journey. Feared as the "work of the devil", hailed as the answer to starvation and cooked into a thousand different recipes, today our planet consumes one trillion- a trillion! - every single year. In this video we trace the potato back to the very beginning and follow its incredible path from Incan sacrifices to Mr. Potato Head and everything in between.
