Richard- the earliest reference to eating potatoes in the Old bailey records is:
Ann Wentland, Mary Harvey, Theft > pocketpicking, 19th April 1732.
Reference Number: t17320419-7
Archibald Paydon . Ann Wentland was at my House, the Black-Lion in Petticoat-Lane, from 11 o'Clock in the Morning till 3 in the Afternoon, on the 17th of March. I remember the Day of the Month, because it was St. Patrick's Day; and I gave away Salt-Fish and Potatoes to my Customers.
[significantly the publican was Irish.]
