  You mean “leave a pile of taters out in the open over night”?

    Yeah but if you live high up the Andes it’s basically freeze drying, because of the freezing nights and the high altitude sun during the day.

      Exactly what I’m saying! “freeze drying” sounds like a way more involved process than something that just happens on its own if you do nothing.

        True but someone had to figure out the process even if it was by accident. Like the first people who tried the first potato species probably didn’t eat them again because they got sick. Until someone ate a potato (against the knowledge of the time) that was left out of the ground over night.
