Will we all be swapping our oat milk for potato milk in 2022? According to a report by the British retail giant Waitrose on the food trends heading to our plates next year, this culinary oddity has every chance of finding its way into our cappuccino cups.

The humble potato could be the next big thing in plant milk. But it takes more than just squeezing spuds to get the desired drink.

In Sweden, a scientist at Lund University, north of Malmö, has developed a new recipe for a plant milk based on potato flesh, mixed with rapeseed oil, chicory fibre and pea protein.

The question that immediately comes to mind is: why? Well, because using potatoes instead of almonds to make plant milk is more environmentally friendly. Potatoes require much less water and are some of the easiest vegetables to grow.
