The potato came from the New World. Christopher Columbus first encountered the sweet potato on the Island of St. Thomas. The natives called them batata. Later the Spanish changed the name to potato because it sounded more Spanish. A century later explorers in Peru brought the white potato to Europe.  Soft round food is the best for your bowels.
