Did you know that potatoes belong to the same family of plants as chilli peppers, tomatoes, tobacco, eggplants and petunias – but that they are not related to the sweet potato? And did you know that although the spud may have a special place in the Irish kitchen, that the Incan people of Peru were growing them as far back as 200 BC.
