Welcome to #checkin for Thursday, August 19, 2021!

Good evening/afternoon/morning everyone and welcome to today's #checkin. It's my turn again, and I just got inspired by @°Anthepa post about (national) potato day. There is a nice legend about how the potato arrived in Germany,

In Germany, the story about how Frederick the Great was responsible for bestowing “potato happiness” on his subjects is well known. King of Prussia form 1740 to 1772, he is still referred to as “Alte Fritz” (Old Fritz) to this day. It is said that he ordered soldiers to guard a field of field of potatoes, ostensibly to protect this highly precious crop. Their curiosity aroused, the local farmers, who had up till then showed no interest in cultivating potatoes, stole some of them and started growing them themselves – or so the story goes

*So what's your favorite potato food? Fries? Mashed potatoes? Sweet potatoes? Croquettes? *
