A member of the nightshade family, like tomatoes and aubergines, it originated in South America and has been grown in Europe since the 16th century. Shapes vary from small ('finger') potatoes like Anya to large, round types like the King Edward. Most have pale brown skins and cream or yellow flesh, but some speciality varieties are differently coloured, like the Purple Peruvian.
