mine love mealworms - I just started hand feeding them because two of them got shy after flying out of the brooder box while I was putting in water or something... one came face to face with the dog, and one landed behind the bag of wood shavings, trapped between the bag and the wall.. they have both been extremely timid ever since, so I started feeding them the meal worms and keeping my hand in there while they ate them, then feeding them from my hand and they are both getting much friendlier again and will let me pick them up again without too much fuss.
if yours are outside, you could start with feeding them on the ground while you sit there and building up the trust while they get used to you.
re: potatoes - I had read that potatoes needed to be cooked?
