'''Holy Potatoes!''' is a series of ConstructionAndManagementGames available on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. They were created by Daylight Studios, with some entries published by Creator/DaedalicEntertainment. Currently, there are four games in the series:

* ''Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!'', in which the protagonist is the grandson of a famous blacksmith, who inherits the business after his grandfather's..."disappearance".
* ''Holy Potatoes! We're in Space?!'', in which two sisters manage their own spaceship as they travel the galaxy in search of their grandfather.
* ''Holy Potatoes! What the Hell?!'', in which a damned chef must work his way up from Heaven to Hell by cooking for sinners and gods.
* ''Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!'', in which twins manage their own spud spy headquarters as they work to locate their missing parents.

Although there are some differences between each game, the core game play involves managing a workshop of spuds, developing their talents and using them to craft items.
