Mashed Potato Wrestling

Mashed potatoes may not be the most common choice for a wrestling medium compared to jelly or spaghetti. However, in festivals in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Maine, that’s exactly what they use. Mashed potato wrestling competitions take place in canvas pools. The specifics may vary depending on the festival, but typically, the winner is declared as the one who can put their opponent on their back. When the competition concludes, the mashed potatoes are often given to livestock.
