The popular Potato Cook-Off is a festival favorite for contestants and “spec-taters” alike! The 2010 category is Potato Horsd'oeuvres. This category is sure to bring out some secret family recipes! Prepared recipes will compete for “bragging rights” and some great prizes.

The audience has a chance to taste the wonderful entries and place their vote for the coveted “People’s Choice Award.” Recipes from prior years are featured in the Potato Days Souvenir Recipe Packet which can be purchased during the festival or on the website. The Cook-Off will be held on Friday at 5 PM in air-conditioned Hildebrand Hall, next to Assumption Catholic Church.

The 2009 Potato Cook-Off was another success. Several participants prepared some fabulous Potato Breads. These recipes will be for sale during the Festival to add to your Cookbook.
