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.
Waxier potatoes contain more sugars than other types of potatoes. For example, the sugar content in 100 grams of red potatoes is 1.29 grams and that of white potatoes is 1.15 grams, while russet potatoes only contain 0.62 grams of sugar per 100-gram serving. How potatoes are stored can also alter their sugar content.
