The potato has always been treated as a plebeian vegetable in India, but in many other countries it is the staple that substitutes for cereals. Ever since the tuber solanum tuberosum made its journey from South American continent to the older world, chaperoned by Portuguese conquistadors, it has played different roles on the culinary stage, stellar and supporting.

It is one of the most widely grown crops and sustains many a large food business. From breakfast to dinner and snacks in between, potato is indispensable. So why should we be surprised when the Humpty Dumpty look-a-like reinvents itself (or let others do it) for another round of global conquest in the 21st century! Most crystal ball gazers focusing on foods of the future are of the unanimous opinion that potato milk is going to be one of the fastest emerging trends in the coming years.
