- Potatoes are grown in 125 countries and are eaten by over a billion people worldwide, but where do they come from? Kae Lani shares the story of the potato’s migration, and discusses how new theories shape our understanding of Polynesian contact with the starchy root vegetable.
Delishtory brings you a tasty exploration into our favorite food obsessions. It's delicious, it's history - it's Delishtory!
Kae Lani Palmisano is an Emmy Award-Winning television host, food and travel writer, recipe developer and home cook who loves to explore the journey that food takes to get to the plate.

Love this series! And love adding all these visuals and graphics! Nice job!
Never met a potato i didn't like
Raw
I have
Dauphinoise Potatoes are my favorite, but I won't deny a simple roasted or mashed either.
The history of potatoes is so cool!
Please do chilis next. Similar to the potato, it transformed the world. I know there was Szechuan pepper in China but chili peppers from Central and South America brought so many levels to other countries’ foods. Imagine kimchi without with the spicy red cabbage prevalent today. Indian and Thai curries? Italy without arrabiata or puttanesca. South African peri~peri or Somalian berbere?
My favorite way of enjoying potatoes is putting them in my mouth
the stonk meme had me dyiiiing i love this series so much and the graphics are a+++!
I agree.
Really informative and well done. Thank you! Favorite potato dish? Any and all :)
Nice video.
Thank you for acknowledging the part that Great Britain’s policies played in the Great Famine.
Didn’t even mention they can power a lightbulb
Otherwise incredible video that I’ll share with my friends and loved ones 🏳️🌈
It seems strange to me that you discuss the historys of potatoes and sweet potatoes together without even mentioning that they are totally unrelated plants (aside from their names in English).
Agreed.
Also, from what I understand the sweet potatoes may have actually come from the Polynesians, not the other way around.
@@JHaven-lg7lj, a couple of years ago a team of researchers at Oxford, in collaboration with the USDA and the International Potato Centre Peru, published a monograph on the origin of the sweet potato, which they have supplemented with their recent discovery of the "missing link," genetically, between the modern sweet potato and its wild ancestor, which places its origin around what is now Ecuador. It was probably first cultivated in Peru at least 5000 years ago and possibly as early as 8000 bc.
Another thing their research demonstrated was that the sweet potato could have reached Pacific islands by natural means before the arrival of people.
It's fascinating what they are learning about plant taxonomy and morphology from modern DNA studies.
0:50 "In addition to boiling, mashing, baking or (stick em in a) stewing potatoes," I see what you did there you tricksy hobbitses.
