Potato origins and spread in Europe and Ireland
A correspondent notes the potato comes from tropical America and was cultivated by Native Americans before European contact. Introduced to Europe in the mid 1500s, it grew into a major crop much later. The tuber enlarges as seeds decrease, but remains similar to its wild form, with the Irish first to adopt it as a staple, hence the term Irish potato.
