Salt potatoes originated in Syracuse and once comprised the bulk of a salt worker's daily diet. During the 1800s, Irish salt miners would bring a bag of small, unpeeled, substandard potatoes to work each day. Come lunch time, they boiled the potatoes in the free-flowing salt brine.
Wikipedia agrees, adding that the word may originate from spyd in Dutch and is related to spad in Latin and spade in English, which makes sense. They also reveal that potato comes from patata in Spanish, which again makes sense. Despite checking several other dictionaries I canât find any reference to Scotland but all seem agreed on the digging tool being the origin of the word. Either way, enjoy your spuds today. On a bizarre spud-note, check out Irish potato candy from Philedelphia, USA.
