Where did roasted potatoes originate from?

Hey team, been delving into the backstory of roasted potatoes. They're a staple in so many cultures, but where did they first emerge? Potatoes hail from South America originally, yet it seems Europe adopted and transformed them into the roasted gems we adore today. Does anyone have the scoop on their historical journey?

They aren't wrong though! Potatoes are from South America, but roasting them seems like a European invention ..Perfect combo though, right? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - what's not to love?
