Potatoes were brought back to Ireland and the rest of Europe from the "New World", South America, upon their discovery by European explorers. Potatoes were not found anywhere in Europe, Asia or Africa until they were imported.

Ireland became dependent on potatoes after their importation to Europe largely because it was a poor country and potatoes grow quickly and easily in many different climates.
