Is it true that the Columbian Exchange introduced new staple crops to Europe?

Yes. A reference article states that the potato, native to South America, became an important staple food in the diets of many Europeans after 1500. Other sources confirm New World crops such as peppers and beans were introduced into Europe, though they do not address staple status.
