MS translators didn't say anything about potatoes. It's just that in some countries potatoes are called "Earthapples" and as you can read in the very link you posted, for some reason that flower is also called "Apple of the Earth".

But since "Erdapfel" (Earthapple) for potato is a common, everyday word for me, while "Apple of the Earth" for that flower isn't, that leads to some odd moment when reading it, since naturally my mind first jumps to the most common use of the word before going over potential other meanings.
