It all started more than 30 years ago with the Hochwald Potato Days in Kell am See, which have since become the Saar-Hunsrück Potato Days. Every year in October, the potato, which was often mocked as a poor man's food, is the focus of culinary attention. Since the two-week event expanded from Hochwald to the entire region around the Saar-Hunsrück Trail in 2015, more and more businesses and guests are indulging in the 14-day culinary delight centered around the potato. The creativity of our chefs in preparing this staple food during the Potato Days is impressive.
The Saar-Hunsrück Potato Days are complemented by a series of culinary or regional events organized by restaurants, towns, communities, or associations.

The potato once came from South America to Europe. Initially used mostly as an ornamental plant, it took time for it to find its way into the cooking pot as an edible tuber. Today, over 300 million tons of potatoes are harvested worldwide each year. The crop is one of the most important staple foods on Earth, containing many nutrients, little fat, a lot of protein, and vitamin C, and is traditionally a staple of German cuisine.
