Potatoes, which have long been considered inedible, have become one of the most popular and favorite foods thanks to the French pharmacist Antoine Auguste Parmentier. Having been captured in Prussia during the Seven Years' War (1757-1763), he first tasted potatoes, which were then considered so inedible that they preferred to feed them to pigs and prisoners. Parmentier unexpectedly liked the taste of potatoes. Returning to France, Parmentier began to study the chemical composition of the plant, which the Paris Medical Academy considered harmful to health and banned the use of food. The ban was lifted only in 1772, largely thanks to the efforts of Parmentier. To make the French fall in love with potatoes, Parmentier invented new dishes from it and arranged dinner parties with famous guests. Here he offers potato bread, potato soup, potato porridge and even potato jam. However, this root vegetable became really popular in France only during the hungry revolutionary years. In 1795, it was grown in besieged Paris, even in the Tuileries garden.

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a stiff sponge under running water.
