An Andean man displays freshly harvested native potatoes 900 kms southeast from Lima on May 26, 2024. Peru is the country with the greatest diversity of potatoes in the world, with some 3,800 types, differing in size, shape, color, skin, pulp, texture and taste, all of which have their place in Peruvian cuisine.
