Y'see, the whole premise of the potato famine was that there were no potatoes.
It was also a genocide not a famine
According to who?
From Wikipedia (you can check their sources for yourself on the article):
"Virtually all historians reject the claim that the British government's response to the famine constituted a genocide, their position is partially based on the fact that with regard to famine related deaths, there was a lack of intent to commit genocide. For a mass-death atrocity to be defined as a genocide, it must include the intentional destruction of a people."
