Every time we do a survey to find out Kiwi kids favourite vegetable potatoes come out on top… so we know that you think potatoes are Spudtacular! Down this page is a selection of Spudtacular recipes… which we know you will love and as you can see a lot of other kids do!

We would also like to introduce our Kiwi-kid Potato Ambassador... Claire Gourley

I absolutely love potatoes and know that they are great in so many ways – the taste (the most important thing!!), how easy they are to cook, that you can prepare them in so many ways so they are never boring, that they are good for you with lots of nutrients and that they are kind on the planet… and what’s more they don’t break the bank to buy!!!. You can’t find a food much better than that!”
