Just read a (rather wittily-named) Reuters article As Other Staples Soar, Potatoes Break New Ground, and it just happens to coincide with my planting of potatoes for the year (well, I'm going to this weekend).
The article basically talks about how since other commodities like wheat and corn are becoming too expensive for many consumers to buy, the potato can be the cheap (and more healthy and productive) alternative.
here's some more information:
