South America

Explanation

The potato plant produces large tubers. The whole plant is poisonous. This also goes for the green part of the potato at the soil's surface. The first known potatoes were discovered in the region of the Andes, in Peru and Chile. They were a far cry from the potatoes we eat today, though.
