There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide. Three thousand of them are found in the Andes alone, mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia. They belong to eight or nine species, depending on the taxonomic school.
Potatoes are like tomatoes in that there are determinate and indeterminate varieties. Determinate varieties grow for a while and then start producing tubers. These types are generally considered early potatoes and include varieties such as Red La Soda and Norgold Russet potatoes.
