Potatoes came to Australia with the First Fleet, in 1788. They were one of the few foods that could withstand the many long months at sea. By the early 1800s, they were being grown throughout the new colony.

They are a native plant to North America. The potato came to Europe as a new food with the explorers when they returned.
