(If you are about to objet about potatoes not existing in Europe until 1500 years later, be aware that Asterix is unconcerned with your complaints about anachronisms)
I don't know about "forever", I can only think of two instances, and in neither case was it specifically identified as potatoes. At least it wasn't in the British translations. In Asterix and the Goths, a druid is shown pulling fried food out of boiling oil with his bare hands. In Asterix in Belgium someone invents "fried chipped root vegetables."
