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.
It is thought that the potato was first brought to the United States in the early 18th century by Irish immigrants who settled in New England. People in this country were slow to adopt the Irish potato and large scale cultivation of potatoes did not occur in the U.S. until the 19th century.
