''Potatoes and Dragons'' (2004) is an animated series, produced by the French studio Alphanim and Canadian producer Creator/CookieJarEntertainment. The show takes place in a kingdom, run by the moderately competent King Hugo III, with a dragon living in it. The dragon makes a regular game of torching the king; thus, the king hires knights from all over the world (read: whoever shows up gets the job). The king's daughter Melodine, the jester Riri, and a little kid called Juju all know the dragon is harmless, and defend him from the competent knights).
Run in Australia, the UK and the USA, it's short, sweet and rather cute.

Run in Australia, the UK and the USA, it's short, sweet and rather cute.
----
!!This show exhibits the following tropes:
* BilingualBonus: Juju's name is (spelling aside) the [[BabyTalk nursery word]] for 'toy' in French. Likewise, Riri's name is derived from "ris ris", meaning "laugh laugh".
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Melodine
* FreakyFridayFlip: "It's Wasn't Me"
* ICallItVera: Sir Splash's (magic!) hose is called 'Fido'.
* InstantIceJustAddCold: Happens to King Hugo in "Ready Yeti?", and the Dragon in "King Of The Potato Frontier".
* {{Jerkass}}: One could argue that the dragon and King Hugo are both examples of this, and the whole show revolves around watching the two of them harass each other. King Hugo is a bad-tempered, egotistical royal pain of a king, who often acts like a brat despite his age. In comparison, the dragon's idea of fun is to wander on over to the castle and burn King Hugo and/or his belongings to cinders whenever he feels like it, even when the king is minding his own business -- which of course is why the king wants to chase the dragon out of the kingdom.
* TheJester: Riri
* TheLancer: Subverted; while Harry does seem to be the King's second in command, he's completely incompetent.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: It's ''Fast Freddy'', not Fat Eddie, nor Bad Teddy.
* NewAgeRetroHippie: ''Fried Green Potatoes''
