The potatoes that arrived in Dublin and played a crucial role in alleviating the Irish Potato Famine in the 19th century were believed to have come from the Andean region of South America.
Specifically, they were likely introduced to Europe from the region around Lake Titicaca, which is situated in the Andes Mountains of present-day Peru and Bolivia.
The introduction of these hardy and disease-resistant potatoes had a significant impact on Irish agriculture and diet during that time.
