Potatoes are a staple food originally from the Andes in South America and are now one of the most widely consumed crops worldwide. They are rich in nutrients, providing vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, and can be prepared in numerous ways, from boiling to frying. Potatoes are part of the nightshade family, and while the tubers are edible, the leaves and stems contain toxic compounds called solanine.
