Because the british bought all out their food sources, subjecting them to a famine where they had to grow potatoes to survive.

No, the famine happened after. You’ve got it backwards.

The famine was started because of a widespread potato blight. It’s not called the Potato Famine because that’s all they could eat; it’s called that because that’s what they couldn’t eat.
