A new holiday has sprouted!
In December, the United Nations (U.N.) declared May 30 the International Day of the Potato to raise awareness and celebrate the many benefits of the tasty, nutritious, versatile spud.
For this inaugural International Day of the Potato, the celebration is in full swing at PotatoGoodness.com.
Check out the International Day of the Potato page for a tuberous extravaganza that honors the humble but mighty potato with recipes inspired by cultures around the world, including these and more:
- Moroccan Potatoes with Roasted Cauliflower
- Potato Cauliflower Curry (Aloo Gobi)
- Mexican Avocado Potato Toast
- Potato Poke Bowl with Salmon
Also featured are some farmers who work hard to bring us the hero of the culinary world by sharing their stories.
On Strava—the popular fitness tracking app—participants can celebrate the International Day of the Potato by fueling a 5K with America’s favorite vegetable. Users can tag @PotatoGoodness on Instagram and TikTok using hashtags #potatoesfuelme and #potatoesfuelperformance to show how potatoes give them energy to perform their best.
