Here is a small album of photos of potato varieties from the Andes Mountain region. I'm going to Grow Tom Wagners "Suytu Vilquina" variety from TPS and his variety is described as :
Suytu Vilquina: One of the 4,235 reasons to save some old varieties of potatoes from the Andes. PI 642184. Solanum tuberosum L. Landrace. CIP 702244; SUYTU VILQUINA; Q 44476. Collected 08/24/2005 in Ayacucho, Peru. Latitude 13° 1′ 12″ S. Longitude 73° 58′ 48″ W. Elevation 3600 m. P. La Mar. Hacienda Paria (San Miguel). Primitive cultivar. Tuber moth resistance. Pink tubers should show up again. This one has good berry production and should be grown to prove you are a hero.
Here are the pictures:
