The Holy Donut

About

Founded in 2012 by Leigh Kellis, The Holy Donut is Portland's most iconic donut shop, famous for its Maine potato-based donuts made from scratch daily using wholesome, locally sourced ingredients. The secret ingredient — fresh Maine russet potatoes — gives the donuts a uniquely moist, dense texture that sets them apart from any other donut shop in the country. Featured in Bon Appétit, Business Insider, and Food Network, The Holy Donut has expanded to four locations across southern Maine and now offers coast-to-coast shipping. The concept was inspired by 'The Joy of Cooking' recipe for potato donuts, and the shop has grown from a single storefront to a beloved New England institution with over 120 team members.
