And here at Global Gang we think that's worth celebrating. Millions of people around the world rely on potatoes to survive. Like Walter, from Bolivia in South America. Check out his story, and our amazing potato facts.

We challenge you to make a potato head out of edible materials (things you can eat - and don't forget the potato!). Everyone who sends in a photo will appear on the website. Mums, dad, carers and pets can get involved. See bottom of the page for entry details. Here's a few to get you going:

Take a snap of your spud. Save your photo as a .tif or a .jpeg file. Then attach it to an email and send to Global Gang. Don’t forget to tell us your first name, age and where you come from too. We'll put EVERY potato pic on the site.
