Some people occasionally say "du (Deutsche) Kartoffel" to ridicule behavior that is viewed as extremely "German". Or say things like "du Alman" but I personally don't think it's insulting but wouldn't consider it a nickname either. But there are some people who might consider it offensive. Here is an article about it: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartoffel_(Slang)
