Por que é feminine?

Patatas is feminine because it derives from Taíno (an indigenous Caribbean language) "batata," which was borrowed into Spanish. The feminine gender was assigned following the productive Spanish pattern of words ending in "-ata," such as "zapata" (shoe) and "corbata" (tie), which are typically feminine. When borrowing foreign words, Spanish speakers applied this existing morphological pattern to assign gender to the loanword.
