My family name ‘PARMENTER’-Kelly comes from France. My ancestor is famous for bringing the potato to France.

Fun fact from Wikipedia:

Potato publicity stunts

Parmentier then began a series of publicity stunts for which he remains notable today, hosting dinners at which potato dishes featured prominently and guests included Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier. He gave bouquets of potato blossoms to the king and queen, and surrounded his potato patch at Sablons with armed guards during the day to suggest valuable goods, withdrawing them at night so people could steal the potatoes
