1560年代,"甘薯",源自西班牙 patata,来自海地的一个加勒比语 batata "甘薯"。甘薯首次被引入欧洲; 它们在16世纪中叶开始在西班牙种植,并在1648年在弗吉尼亚种植。16世纪早期,葡萄牙商人将这种作物带到了他们所有的航运港口,甘薯很快就从非洲传到了印度和爪哇。
"这是该名称最初的应用,当英国作家在17世纪中叶使用这个词时,通常是指这个意思" [世纪词典]。
这个名称后来(1590年代)被扩展(基于一般相似性,两者都是可食用的块茎)到了普通的白薯,原产于秘鲁,最初(错误地)被称为 Virginia potato,或者,因为最初与甘薯相比不重要,所以被称为 bastard potato。西班牙侵略者在秘鲁开始将白薯作为水手的廉价食物,时间是在1530年代。
第一个来自南美洲的土豆于1540年送到了教皇保罗三世那里; 最初在法国种植时是作为观赏植物。根据流行传统,它是由约翰·霍金斯于1565年引入爱尔兰的。它是由托马斯·赫里奥特爵士于1586年从哥伦比亚带到英格兰的。
德语 Kartoffel(17世纪)是从 tartoffel 中的一个音变,最终源自意大利 tartufolo(通俗拉丁语 *territuberem),最初是指"松露"。弗里德里希二世于1743年强迫普鲁士农民种植土豆。法语是 pomme de terre,字面意思是"地苹果"; 瑞典方言中"土豆"的词是 jordpäron,字面意思是"地梨"。
口语发音 tater 从1759年开始在印刷品中有记录。作为典型的德国菜肴, Potato salad 在1842年开始流行; 在英国的烹饪书籍中,它在1844年出现。关于 Potato chip,请参见 chip(名词1); 关于英国的替代品 potato crisp,请参见 crisp(形容词)。俚语 potato trap "嘴巴"的用法可以追溯到1785年。在爱尔兰, Potato Famine 在1845年至1849年之间被称为"大饥荒",到1851年,这个名字在爱尔兰以外的地方更为常见; 在爱尔兰,它通常被称为"大饥荒"、"大饥饿"或"大饥荒"。
drop (something) like a hot potato 的用法可以追溯到1824年。一个以 one potato, two potato 开头的儿童数数谚语在1885年在加拿大有记录。
