Potatoes are a versatile and nutritious crop that can be grown in many regions of the world. They can be cooked in various ways, such as boiling, baking, frying, mashing or roasting. Potatoes can also be processed into products like chips, fries, flakes, starch or alcohol. This species has gone through a long journey, as they originated in the American Andes, but were imported into Europe through the Spanish Empire. From here, it made itself a staple crop in parts of Great Britain (particularly Ireland) and was subsequently imported to Oceanyka in the colonial age. This plant is most commonly seen in household tables as Boiled Potatoes.
