Potatoes, I have been informed, were first obtained in the Andes of South America.
What many do not appreciate is the great variety of potatoes and their multiple uses beyond mashed potatoes, potato soups (including clam chowders), baked potatoes and pommes frites (French fries). Petite potatoes can be cooked and served whole.
There are arguments about whether it is healthy to eat potato skins. And indeed, health issues which include producing glycemic and insulin surges from the high carbohydrate content of potatoes.
BTW: Sweet Potatoes are Yams, not potatoes.
I did some digging on the web and found (for your pleasure) an informative site with a couple downloadable PDFs ...

I have been aware of the large variety of potatoes, but I was recently looking to find something different. Fingerling Potatoes seem like a good candidate.
