Also, check your history. The British didn't force us to eat only potatoes: they were the only thing we knew how to grow or could afford to grow. Corn laws, dude, corn laws.
I think it's because 'potato monkey' doesn't have enough phonetic zip to it. I propose 'spud monkey' instead, e.g.:

"Shut your Guinness chute, you useless spud monkey!"
