Potatoes are a vegetable that originated in the New World, and were entirely unknown in the Old. It was not until trade was established between the Europeans and the people who lived in the Americas that the Europeans knew about potatoes. That happened after the Middle Ages were over. Other vegetables that were unknown to the Europeans included maize, tomatoes, peppers, and kidney beans.
They did have potato chips because they had lots of potatoes
Answer: Potatoes are a "New World" product. Thus there were no potatoes in Europe, Asia, or Africa until after 1493. So, no, Medieval people didn't have them. Pioneers may have eaten chunks of potato. The concept of potato chip is credited to someone complaining to the chef that his potatoes weren't sliced thin enough, in 1853 in New York. So pioneers may have eaten them, depending on when your "pioneers" were pioneering. See attached link.
No. They are a New World food and don't reach Europe until the 1500's.
No, the potato is a new world species and was not introduced into Europe until after the Middle Ages ended.
Potatoes were unknown in Europe, Asia, and Africa until they were introduced from America in the early 1500s. It is the same with chocolate, tomatoes and maize (corn).

How did people in the middle ages wipe their butts?
Well...Toilet paper has been around long enough for even great grandparents to have used it btw. The early settlers here in NZ though named a small tree with large soft leaves 'bushmen's toilet paper' - they also it to write on. And from wiki: .....The classic 16th century satirical novel Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais contains references to various toilet paper alternatives. For example, in the 13th chapter of the First Book, titled "How Grandgousier realized Gargantua's marvelous intelligence, by his invention of an ****-wipe," the giant Gargantua, while still a child, tries dozens of different methods for wiping his bottom, including paper, but unfortunately he finds it "leaves some chips on his ballocks". Finally he discovers the best method: the neck of a goose. The first factory-made paper marketed exclusively for toilet use was produced by Marie Fagliano in the United States in 1857 . Fagliano's name was printed on every sheet. Before this invention, wealthy people used wool, lace or hemp for their ablutions, while less wealthy people used their hand when defecating into rivers, or cleaned themselves with various materials such as rags, wood shavings, leaves, grass, hay, stone, sand, moss, water, snow, maize husks, fruit skins, or seashells, and cob of the corn depending upon the country and weather conditions or social customs. In Ancient Rome, a sponge on a stick was commonly used, and, after usage, placed back in a bucket of saltwater...... Wiki also mentions sand being used in some countries. There is an alternative to paper and that is the 'bidet' which is like a basin but on the floor so you can wash afterwards instead of dry wiping. The cleanest human races on earth, are Asians and Muslims; as they clean themselves with water using left hand and washing both hands with soap and water. Using paper or any other material leaves residue on the anus or around the area.
