Like all potatoes they are native to Peru. There is know way of knowing when they were first grown since there are many purple potato varieties among the hundreds of different potato varieties that were first developed in Peru. When you buy from seed catalogs there is usually a blurb telling you about the history of the particular potato you have chosen.
