The weather conditions in the Andes biome are severe. Plants have to survive in extreme temperatures, heavy snowfall and strong winds. You can find the potato in places in the Andes where the the temperature ranges from 60 to 70 °F during the day, and frost at night. Most of the wild potato plants are hard to find, and grow in few places. Wild potatoes are found in thickets and waste areas. |
Willd potatoes are found in 16 countries. Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Mexico are where 90% of the wild potatoes are found. In Argentina,grows up at 6,562 feets There are about 199 species of wild potato,but only 7 are cultivated. Joël Robuchon wrote a book about those tinny and delicius potatos. I don't kwow how to prepare yet.But I do something these days
