I dont think the brits actually "brought it back".Rather they(the potatoes) were washed up on shore after a spanish ship was wrecked off the coast.And when the Irish "ran out "of potatoes during the potatoe blight of 1845 and 46 a goodly number of irish( 1,000,000 )took that other boat rowed by Charon across the Styx.
Irish potatoe production 1844 14,862,000 tons
1847 2,046,000 tons
