To find out when potatoes reached North America, we can rely on historical records. Potatoes are native to the Andes Mountains in South America and were first domesticated by indigenous cultures thousands of years ago. However, it wasn't until the European colonization of the Americas that potatoes were introduced to North America.
The correct answer can be found by examining the timeline of European exploration and colonization. Christopher Columbus is often credited with bringing potatoes to the New World on his voyages in the late 15th century. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
Potatoes were officially introduced to North America in the 1600s when English colonists set foot on the continent. Therefore, the correct answer is:
O c. 1600s
