When we received this month’s Vintage Recipe Redo and Swap recipe of Potato Donuts, I felt sure my muse had packed up and departed for summer vacation leaving me behind in an inspiration wasteland. I usually have a sparkly idea that gets me excited to construct from scratch something I would not normally think of in my daily living.
6. Spoon batter into cakelet pans/cavities leaving about ½ inch at the top. Tap pan(s) firmly on the countertop a few times to release any bubbles.

I agree with you, purple potatoes taste SO similar to white/red potatoes. I find they're a bit less starchy, but maybe I'm wrong. I know that they are better for you! The darker the veggie/fruit the better. I LOVE these bug cakes!

I do love those pans. Too bad the cakes didn't stay that gorgeous light green color with the purple flecks, eh? They still look yummy though. When I was a kid and went to camp, we ALWAYS had bug juice, but ours was Kool-Aid.

Cutest spuds I've seen in quite a while! Glad you conquered the challenge and then some – meanwhile it looks like I might have to get me some bug-shaped baking tins 🙂
