The potato is certainly the most important crop of the last 500 years or so. Without it, our modern society would not exist. So yeah, plenty of good stuff to write about.

Without corn, USA would not exist. Without potato, Europe. Without rice, Asia.

And USA comes from Europe. So it's a double whammy of existing thanks to potatoes and corn.

Not sure if the most important crop ever but at least around here near where it came from is highly important. And it makes me proud my dad devoted all his working life, since he could until he couldn't, growing potatoes of all sorts. My favorite is what we know around here as "papa criolla"

I just made some Syracuse Salt Potatoes the other day. I used baby golds, but these Papa Criolla potatoes somehow seem even smaller. I'd love to get my hands on some, they look perfect.
