Description
Illustration of a potato plant (Solanum tuberosum). Native to the altiplano of Peru, the potato was the food staple of the Incas. After the Spaniards conquered Peru in 1536, sailors relied on potatoes and eventually carried the crop to the old world. By 1650, Irish farmers were growing potatoes exclusively and soon potatoes were cultivated extensively world wide.
