Michelin -trained Poppy O'Toole, 31, is touting the sweet-meets-savoury version and insists: 'It works!' 2 2 The self-titled 'Potato Queen' of the internet mixes Maris Piper spuds with condensed milk, double cream, vanilla and salt to make the no-churn treat. She suggests adding pieces of maple bacon or crispy potato sticks to complete the offering. Poppy, who has 5.5 million internet followers, said: 'People might know me for my roasties, but now it's time for potato-based desserts to enter the chat. 'Sounds a bit wild, I know — but trust me, it works. I love showing how everyday ingredients can surprise you.' Poppy, of Bromsgrove, Worcs, added: 'Maris Pipers give it that velvety, creamy texture while keeping the sweetness in check, and topped with a bit of maple bacon or potato sticks . . . you're in summery dessert heaven.' Savoury ice creams are gaining popularity, with chefs experimenting with ingredients such as olive oil, miso and beetroot in sweet and salty pairings. Poppy has linked up with Ocado to market hers.

Not-so-springlike conditions greet Spring Fest in Niagara Falls
Despite cloudy, cool and damp conditions on Saturday, the organizer of Spring Fest in Niagara Falls says the event will be back next year. 'I am happy (but) it could have been better,' said Fonthill-based Vendors Market Canada owner Uzo Kanu who organized the event at Fireman's Park. 'I have spoken to the vendors and some of the guests who've come through who have been also happy about it so the weather can't deter this (from moving) forward in the future for sure.' Kanu said he was hoping at least 600 people would visit the event featuring 45 vendors (most were set up inside the hall at the park) by the time it wrapped up at 5 p.m. As of noon, he said about 150 people had come by. One of the vendors, Neomi Valmonte, co-owner of Potato Queen , was selling flavoured French fries at an outdoor tent. 'It's not so busy,' said Valmonte who had come to the park from Brampton. Valmonte noted her crew were dressed for the conditions, adding the cloudy skies didn't dampen their enthusiasm for the event. 'We still like it.'
