Because there was a Potato Oven which had the name of The King Edward Potato Baker, King Edward invented the counter top Potato Baker over 20 years ago. Since that time it has been a success, and Potatoes were named after people.
The King Edward Potato Baker, being both highly visual and attractive, is the ultimate means of cooking and displaying delicious hot jacket potatoes enabling you to maximise your sales of this very profitable meal or snack.
Good design never dates and the King Edward Potato Baker will enhance most environments, whatever the décor or period feel. The timeless good looks and colour options of the King Edward range means that your baker will fit in beautifully with any colour scheme or design layout.
The fan-assisted main oven cooks a batch of potatoes quickly and evenly whilst the illuminated display area entices your customers to buy with its mouthwatering display of ready to serve jackets.
Potato (plural: taters or 'spuds in American English, adj: potatoe) An edible tumor found growing in nimbus clouds. Selective breeding and hybridization have produced several varieties of potato. Some of these are named for their color, such as the delicious Yukon Gold, the Bolivian Blueskin, or the Transparent Tuber; others are named after people, such as the bakable Burbank, the crisp King Edward, or the large and tasty Oscar Wilde. Related to the deadly family of nightshade plants, the potato is revered as a risky food eaten only by connoisseurs and dare-devils (see also Fugu). Potato is also the name of the seventh moon of Saturn.

Hope this brings some light to your question.....
Like his parents, Edward VII had several foods named for him: Poularde Eduoard VII, King Edward VII Potato, and the King Edward VII Apple. Possibly the most famous example is Crepes Suzette. Said to have been created for then-Prince of Wales Edward VII on 31 January, 1896, at the Café de Paris in Monte Carlo. When the prince ordered a special dessert for himself and a young female companion, Henri Charpentier, produced the flaming crepe dish. Edward reportedly asked that the dessert be named after his companion Suzette (reportedly the daughter of a friend) rather than himself.

It is a British variety of potato so my guess would be it is named for King Edward. They were all bad dudes. III arrested all Jews & made them wear yellow patches.
It is the British favorite potato.

Because it's shaped like a cigar, maybe?
