The TikTok recipe sensation: potatoes playing with taste receptors like an accordion

In turn, representatives of the Lithuanian retail chain Maxima claim that the taste of this inexpensive dish and the crispness of the potatoes can surprise even the most constipated potato fans, according to the press release.

Lithuania’s beloved potatoes still on top

Ernesta Dapkienė, director of the Department of Communication and Image of Maxima, warns that for many years the potato occupies one of the most prominent places in the shopping baskets of all vegetables. According to her, this shows that potato dishes continue to successfully find their place in the kitchens of compatriots.

“While we can constantly see the changing trends of shopping carts, we can see their needs growing rapidly, some things are not changing that strongly. Potato sales, which increased last year, are expected to only continue to grow this year.” says E. Dapkienė.

At the time, Brigita Baratinskaitė, head of Maxima’s Food Production Department, added that although negative comments could be heard about including potatoes in the diet, it would not be worth removing them from the menu entirely. In fact, potatoes contain many beneficial substances for the human body, such as vitamin C, magnesium, iron and B vitamins.

“By including potatoes in our diet, we also supply our body with minerals that stimulate collagen production. In addition, the vitamins in potatoes ensure good heart function or support the natural digestive system. These helpful properties can encourage even the healthiest of people to try potato dishes that have been avoided until now or, in this case, potatoes that resemble accordions, ”says B. Baratinskaitė.

For those who want to try a new, unusual-looking snack, a food production expert explains how to make accordion-shaped potatoes.
