Treats can be made from certain underground vegies (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from certain underground vegies' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'treats can be' is the wordplay.
'can be' is an anagram indicator.
'treats' with letters rearranged gives 'TATERS'.

'made' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taters that I've seen before include "Potatoes (dialect)" , "starchy tubers" .)
