russet potato = Solanum tuberosum, part of Solanales order

sweet potatoes and potatoes are dicotyledonous plants while yams are monocots

fun fact: night shade is part of the Solanales family 👻 

all hail the potato

My comment was 100% based on feeling lol, appreciate the info, need to add member of Solanum tuberosum to my bio 😂

potatoes are one of my internet holes I fell into after I learned there is a potato bunker in Lima, Peru that has securely stored over 4500 (!!!) different species of potato

how cool is that. that’s so many types of potato

Whoa I think I have only ever eaten like 6 different types...

potato we gotta get you eating more of your brethren 

6/4500 is unacceptable im sorry

I agree unacceptable! Where can I hunt down these varieties? Also where do Yukas fall?
