Potatoes originally come from South America specifically from the Andes mountains. They were brought to Europe by early Spanish explorers in the 1500's. They were slowly adopted as a staple because they can grow in many types of soil.
There are over 4000 kinds of potatoes, all cultivars that trace their origin to Peru and Chile.

Where and when did mashed potatoes originate?
Potatoes are native to the Andes Mountains in South America. A curious fact of culinary history is that there were no potatoes in Europe before the late 15th century. When potatoes are boiled, (a basic cooking method used in primitive cultures) the potatoes easily decompose in the water after a time. In fact, when making mashed potatoes, care must be taken not to overcook the mash. Chances are good that mashed potatoes (or something very much like them) were first eaten by the forebears of the indigenous Aymara and Inca people [who kept no surviving records of such trivia] in the Andes, millennia before Columbus.It's believed that Antoine Parmentier, a physician, was the first to make mashed potatoes, in a 1771 competition held in France.
