"Der König überall / The King Everywhere". 1886, Robert Müller.

One of the more bizarre claims to fame attributed to the first King of Prussia is that the man who would go down in history known as Frederick the Great introduced the potato to Germany during his reign back in the 1700s. This starchy root vegetable has undoubtedly become a staple part of German cuisine - an essential addition to any plate of Schnitzel, Schweinshaxn, and Königsberger Klopse - however, whether Frederick the Great is truly deserving of the additional moniker, Der Kartoffelkönig (the potato king).
