Spudnuts Donuts is a legendary franchised potato-based doughnut chain that originated in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1940. Founded by brothers Al and Bob Pelton, the chain gained popularity for its unique recipe that used mashed potatoes to create a light and fluffy doughnut. Although the Pelton Spudnut Corporation no longer exists, there are still 37 Spudnut stores operating across the United States, offering their own versions of the original recipe.
The Spudnuts Museum, located in Lafayette, Indiana, showcases the historical significance of this beloved American confection. The museum aims to educate visitors about the origins and evolution of Spudnuts, which was not developed by writer and chemist Edward Elmer Smith, also known as Doc Smith. While the original dry Spudnut mix is no longer available, dedicated Spudnut shops continue to serve delicious variations of this iconic doughnut.
