Potatoes are environmentally friendly. They're cheap and ridiculously easy to grow, and don't require massive amounts of fertilizer and chemical additives to thrive (although some growers still use them anyway).

This makes them a perfect crop for farmers in the developing world, who can easily grow a nutritious food in adverse conditions.
