Are you asking about white potatoes or sweet potatoes? I assume the 
former. Potatoes have come up here many times. Yes, they originally 
came from the New World.
Take a look at this file in the FOOD-VEGETABLES section of the 
Florilegium for more information on these foods.

Welcome to the SCA and to this SCA-Cooks maillist!
You might be interested in looking in the NEWCOMERS and the PERSONA 
sections of the Florilegium. And with over 1800 other files on a wide 
variety of SCA and medieval subjects, perhaps you will find some other 
files of interest to you.
