Potato history is long and complicated, but the short version is that potatoes originated in South America and were cultivated by the Incas for both food and medicine. The potato was brought to Europe in the 16th century, where it quickly became a staple crop because of its versatility. There are now more than 4,000 varieties of potatoes grown all over the world. In general, potatoes are high in fiber (especially if you eat skins), potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron and niacin.
