Detailed Information
The species *Solanum tuberosum* (the potato) is native to the **Andes region of South America**.
While the *species* originated in the Andes, the specific *cultivar* ‘Kennebec’ was developed in the United States. However, its ancestry ultimately traces back to the South American origin of the potato.
Therefore, the ultimate native region, even for the ‘Kennebec’ cultivar, is the **Andes region of South America**.
