The history of Potatoes:

The Incas called potatoes papas, which translates as tubers.

The first tubers were discovered in the Andes mountains,

approximately in the area of what is today Peru and Bolivia. 

The farming of the tuber in that region, in hundreds of varieties, is documented as far back as 7000 years BC. In those days, though, potatoes did not taste the same as today. However, the Incas found out that high up in the Andes (3000 – 4000 meters), where the traditional corn would no longer grow, they could still achieve usable yields with potatoes.

Around the middle of the 16th century, the potato came to Europe via Spain and England. The potato was originally identified as an ornamental plant rather than an agricultural crop. The introduction of the potato changed the world substantially, as many sailors, in particular, realized that with potatoes, they had an extremely nutrient-rich, easily storable, and healthy foodstuff.

In that time, Potatoes turned into the main course.

Potatoes are one of the well-known food in the whole world, which uses in many ways such as French fries, which are delicious.
