Sara Andrea FajardoSara A. Fajardo is a Peruvian-American writer whose dad constantly reminded her that potatoes are from the Andes. So, she jumped at the chance to work as a consultant for the International Potato Center. Over the years she's learned which potaoes help paint your lips the perfect shade of red, how to cure a sour stomach with potato, and how much we owe the farmers and plant scientists who care for our potatoes. She's never met a potato she doesn't love and wants the world to know that a sweetpotato is as related to a potato as a lemur is to a gorilla. Please don't ever tell her that your favorite potato is a sweetpotato because it will lead to a very long yet loving lecture. Follow her at @Safajarwrites. Read More Read Less
