Try the Mercado Central
The Mercado Central de Quito, located in the Old Town, has a vast array of Ecuador produced fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, herbs, spices and flowers. It is noted as "Primer Mercado Saludable" - Formost Healthful Market. The Quito Central Market has won awards for cleanliness.

Potatoes are of course native to South America - there are so many types; even the french fries taste better in Quito.
