After the goddess’s passing, the British empire felt lost. Although they had survived a cataclysmic event, the goddess that saved them had all but disappeared. Prayer alone would not suffice as thanks to Potane, and so an idea was developed: what about a revisit to their history?

A British hero, Starche, then proposed a radical idea. As the empire understood it, these crops may have been seeds, a way of prolonging the goddess's life. Perhaps by surrounding the goddess's gift around the soil and water she had blessed, she could be revived. Starche's plan was to bury the potatoes in the ground near a hot spring, hoping that the warmth of the water and soil could potentially reignite the embers of divinity left in each potato. Thus, Starche set out on a journey. A royal priest had informed him of a divine spring near a mountain, said to be the spot Potane first visited in Europe.

After reaching the spring, Starche placed a batch of potatoes in the damp soil. Hours of waiting passed, but nothing seemed to have happened. Starche's team, now feeling more defeated than ever, decided to cut their losses. Before leaving, however, they unearthed the potatoes to eat. After all, leaving a divine artifact to waste away on what was essentially a pilgrimage would be disrespectful. It was when they pulled the potato out of the warm soil that they noticed a difference: the potato was noticeably less firm. The warm potatoes were eaten, and to Starche's shock, they were much richer in both texture and taste. The potato in his hand was soft and pillowy, much easier to eat, and the leftover warmth made the eating experience much more enjoyable. This must be the leftover divinity, he thought.

Bringing his findings back, a revolution was at hand. The potato dish only continued to develop in complexity, as the centuries brought on complimentary ingredients like salt and pepper, even butter. The one thing that refused to change, however, was the original form of the potato. They were only served whole and cooked through, to pay respects to the goddess’s gift to the British ancestors.
