    People believed that the plants surrounding the potato were poisonous nightshade like what the tomato had. They also avoided it because they believed that it's "unattractive" appearance. They finally became accustomed to using it after they discovered that it was suitable to grow in harsh conditions or where nothing else would have grown.
