The genetic patterns of potato distribution indicate that the potato probably originated in the mountainous west-central region of the continent. According to Dr. Hector Flores, the most probable place of origin of potatoes is located between the south of Peru and the northeast of Bolivia.

Though some Europeans were skeptical of the newly arrived tuber, they were quickly won over by the plantâs benefits.
