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 grown from seed potatoes, which are potato pieces cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes with at least two eyes. You have a wide choice of potato cultivars, including russet, red and yellow varieties. Potatoes also come in early, late and mid-season varieties that vary in length of time to harvest.
