NO! Potatoes and Tomatoes are both part of the deadly Nightshade family and are extremely toxic to horses if consumed. You can feed cooked potatoes to horses but I believe it's best to just avoid feeding it to them altogether as potatoes break down mainly into starch, which horses don't need in large amounts.

Can potato beetles be pets?

Potato beetles probably can not eat lettuce. Potato beetles evolved in the Rocky Mountains of North America. They could only live on a plant similar to a potato. When farmers began growing potatoes, they moved to potato plants. They were able to live on their original hosts as well as potato plants. In fact, potato plants provided a better place for them. So, the fact that they were unable to spread until they could move to potato plants makes it seem like it will be difficult to find somewhere else they can grow.
