Junius Groves

Born in 1859 in Louisville, Kentucky, Groves came to Kansas at the age of nineteen. He worked at the meat packing houses in Armourdale and later moved to Edwardsville. Here he purchased eighty acres of land and began to raise white potatoes. His business prospered and he became known as the "Potato King of the World." At the height of his success he owned more than five hundred acres. Groves and his wife Matilda built a twenty-room mansion, and the Union Pacific Railway built a special track to his property. In 1913 he founded the community of Groves Center, selling small tracts of land to Black families, which contributed to the exoduster movement.

Now no Prussian can lay claim to being the "Potato King" can they? [:D]

Found this in my explorations:



Klöße (German cuisine; singular: Kloß) are dumplings made from grated raw and/or mashed potatoes (called Kartoffelknödel) or dried bread with milk and egg yolks (called Semmelknödel). They are cooked like pasta. Klöße are served as a side dish, instead of potatoes. In Bavaria and Austria they are called Knödel(n), in the Czech Republic Knedliky, in Poland they are called kluski and in particular the kluski œl¹skie (Silesian noodles), and in Northern Italy Canederli. In the US, Klub is used to refer specifically to potato dumplings.

They belong especially to the Austrian, Czech, Polish and southern German cuisine. However the potato variety can also be found in most other parts of Germany. In the Canadian Maritimes, a similar dish is known to the Acadians as poutines râpées.

Knödel in German cuisine are most commonly a side dish to pork roast (with crust). In Austrian cuisine, "Speckknödel" (with chopped bacon as ingredient) can be added to a soup.
