Solanum verrucosum is a species of wild potato in the family Solanaceae, native to Mexico.[1] It is typically found in cloud forests at 2,100–3,500 m (6,900–11,500 ft) above sea level.[2] Its tubers are small and late to develop, but said to be quite tasty.[3][4]

A diploid, it is being extensively studied for its resistance to Phytophthora infestans (the cause of late potato blight), and Potato leafroll virus, in an effort to improve the domestic potato Solanum tuberosum.[5][6][7]
