Did you know?
The red potato was first cultivated in Peru. It was naturalized in the Old World via Spanish sailors bringing the potato with them on returning voyages to Europe. Over the centuries, botanists have created many varieties of potatoes. Some of the best known are Sebago (common potato), Pontiac (very popular because of its thin, red skin), Desiree, Pink Fir Apple, Kipfler, Pink Eye (or Tasmanian Pink Eye), Russet Burbank, Spunta, and Nicola.
North Carolina produces more sweet potatoes than any other state in the U.S.! Louisiana, California, and Mississippi are the other top producers. While the Jewel sweet potato variety represents more than 75% of the commercially grown options, there are other sweet potato options out there, including Garnet, Diana, and Beauregard.
