History of the Potato Reach and Origin
The cultivated potato originated in the Chilean and Peruvian Andes and spread to Colorado wild farms. It existed globally in wild form before European cultivation and was likely brought to Spain from Peru in the early 1500s. Drake may have introduced it to England in 1586, with Raleigh claimed a year earlier. The plant was once a curiosity until the late eighteenth century, though the Royal Society proposed its famine safeguarding use in 1663.
