The World Potato Congress is being held in Dublin this week with 1,000 delegates gathering from countries across the world.
And that gives us a chance to spotlight our own potato photos from the Shields Gazette archives.
Who remembers the day when Keith Chegwin tried out chips at Colmans in 2008?
We’ve got potatoes that look like space ships and Teddy Bears and we want you to chip in if you spot someone you know in these photos.
