Salt potatoes originated in Syracuse and once comprised the bulk of a salt worker's daily diet. During the 1800s, Irish salt miners would bring a bag of small, unpeeled, substandard potatoes to work each day. Come lunch time, they boiled the potatoes in the free-flowing salt brine.
How the Potato Changed the World. Brought to Europe from the New World by Spanish explorers, the lowly potato gave rise to modern industrial agriculture. Although the potato is now associated with industrial-scale monoculture, the International Potato Center in Peru has preserved almost 5,000 varieties.
