… And since when have potatoes existed in Berlin? Which foods contain potatoes nowadays? And what else can they be used for? 

We explore secrets of the precious and inexpensive “apple of the earth” as the French and Germans also call the potato, play a potato game, print with potato stamps and last, but not least, we boil and eat the tuber just like Berliners have done for the last 100 years.

Age group: 6 to 10

Duration: approximately 3 hours
