It really depends on the person you ask.

A religious person would say: God

A nonreligious person would say: It was just there.
No one invented the potato. It evolved, probably over millennia.

Where were mashed potatoes made?

I think we need some clarification here. Are you asking where mashed potatoes were invented? Or do you want to know where modern instant mashed potatoes are made? I don't know if we can definitively answer the first question, because mashed potatoes are so basic. Potatoes are native to the Americas. I don't know if the native peoples mashed their potatoes or cooked them in some other fashion, but I do know that potatoes weren't introduced to Europe until Europeans conquered the Americas. The people in South America had already domesticated the potato by then. It seems reasonable to suppose that they might have boiled their potatoes, and sometimes mashed them, but I don't know if there is any evidence to prove that they did.


How did George Washington Carver invent things?
