Season: Year round
Description: After rice, wheat and maize, humans grow more potatoes than any other food crop. We can trace potatoes back 10,0000 years to Peru and Chile. Europeans explorers later spread potatoes throughout Europe. In 1845, Ireland faced a humanitarian disaster when its potato crop was hit with an outbreak of a crop disease called "late blight." Unfortunately, that same disease destroyed many potato crops in the Northeastern United States in 2009. But despite this year's setback, you can find well over 25 different varieties of potatoes at New York markets.
