Where did potatoes originate from?

There are many types of root vegetable we might call "potato", from tiny wild potatoes found in the Great Plains of North America to sweet potatoes and the larger tuberous root crop originating in Peru. All of these different types are of American origin and were unknown throughout Europe until relatively recent times. One story says that when potatoes were first brought to Europe in the second half of the 16th century people did not know how to cook them so they gave them (raw) to their animals. Some native American names for the various types are: Taino.................batata (sweet potato) Quechua...........papa (potato) Lakota...............bluskuya (sweet potato) Lakota...............blo (wild potato) Arapaho............cee'éé' (wild turnip or potato) Cheyenne.........ho'enoo'o (sweet potato) Cheyenne.........mesehestotse (wild potato)
