Why Potatoes Are The Best!

Potatoes are absolutely delicious, you can make a million different recipes with them and they’re incredibly healthy! They are eaten all over the world but they come from the Andes mountains in South America and then made their way through Europe to become a superpower. How did they become the builder of empires and what’s in store for their future?

Here’s the research we did for the video:
