The Halloween trend called Trick-or-Tater has people handing out potatoes to trick-or-treaters instead of just candy again this year. What started as a joke on social media has turned into a beloved ritual that’s both funny and heartwarming. Kids are surprisingly excited to get potatoes in their candy buckets, and parents love it because it gives kids with food allergies something safe to enjoy on Halloween.
Potatoes USA is jumping on the trend with spooky potato recipes for the season. They created dishes like Devilish Potatoes, which are like deviled eggs but made with small potatoes, and Franken Fingers, which are creepy potato fries. They also suggest making a CharBOOterie board with potato chip nachos and Halloween extras. The organization points out that potatoes are a nutrient-dense vegetable with lots of energy, potassium, and vitamin C. A medium potato actually has more potassium than a banana. On the other hand, imagine being a kid and expecting a candy bar, but getting a potato instead?
