Potatoes are starchy tuberous crops from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum. They are native to the Andes region of South America and have become a staple food in many parts of the world due to their versatility and nutritional value. Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates, particularly starch, and also provide vitamins C and B6, potassium, and dietary fiber.
