History of potato And Iranian potatoes:
History of potato And Iranian potatoes: the origins of all the potatoes that exist today can be traced back to a single plant that was cultivated in Peru over 7,000 years ago. In the 16th century, the rulers of Spain and England, due to food shortages as well as population growth, sent trained sailors to the Americas by ship to find a new source of food.
After arriving in Peru in 1524, a sailor named Francisco Pisa learned that potatoes were grown in the land . Around 1570, potatoes were transported from South America to Peru by Spanish conquerors, and potato cultivation became common throughout Europe. In 1719, potatoes were transported from Europe to North America, as well as to Asia.

Potato seeds were first planted in the village of Pashand around Tehran or the present-day Alborz province, which is why Pashandi potatoes are still popular in Iran.
