Hi PH 👋, we're Radu and Dalma, the makers of OH, a potato. We help you find, save, plan, and cook recipes using ingredients you already have in the name of reducing food waste. The name OH, a potato! comes from us finding an old, forgotten, and decrepit potato at the back of our pantry one day. This made us realize that we aren't doing a great job using the ingredients we have on hand before they go bad (don't worry, we still cooked the potato). It turns out we are not alone, ⅓ of the world's food is thrown away by households, with 95-115 kg of food being wasted per year per person. People waste food primarily because they fail to meal plan or stick to a meal plan. We tried multiple apps to solve this problem for ourselves, but all of them were missing something. Either they are recipe managers that require manual input or can't save recipes from social media like Instagram reels and TikTok videos, or they don't have an integrated ingredients manager that helps you find recipes using those ingredients and so on. So, we decided to build an app for our own use. We've been building, refining, and using OH, a potato! for 2 years now, and we want to share it with all of you. Here's what it can do: OH, a potato! can save recipes from anywhere: - Give OH, a potato! a link, and it'll extract recipes from anywhere, including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, using LLMs to parse recipe details automatically. - Use OH, a potato!'s built-in scanner to save and automatically extract recipes from your favorite cookbooks using LLMs to parse recipe details automatically. OH, a potato! can help you find new recipes: - Search the web for recipes directly from OH, a Potato! and get cleaned-up, easy-to-read recipes that you can meal plan instantly. - Generate LLM recipes using ingredients you have on hand. OH, a potato! helps you meal plan and not waste ingredients: - Set a meal planning day and get reminders. - Get recipe suggestions based on ingredients you already have from your saved or LLM-generated recipes. - Build a grocery list quickly for missing ingredients and keep your grocery store trips focused. - Share your meal plan and recipes with others via household sharing. Try OH, a potato! (1 month free) out and tell us what you think.

Zero-waste when talking about meal planners really caught my eye! As someone who’s constantly finding forgotten avocados, I’m super excited to try this out. Congratulations on your launch and brilliant idea!

thank you very much @pixelpirat! Potato asks for the meagre toll of $1.9 per month (with a yearly subscription). Let us know what you think about OH, a potato's effect on your meal planning.

Love the branding you have going on: the name, the graphics... well done team! Just visited your website and read that you need to import the recipes first. Is there also a way to enter the ingredients you have and let it browse the entire internet to find suitable recipes? Would be cool! Anyways, congrats on the launch! 🥔🥔

Thanks @stefan_bader! Yes, you have two options: 1) PotatoGPT generates 10 recipes at a time with ingredients you have saved in your fridge and 2) Have PotatoGPT search the web for you and return ready to meal plan recipes with formatted ingredient and instructions lists.

Congratulations on the launch! 🎉 A brilliant idea and a pain point anyone can relate. I love the "cook from what you have" and being able to find new recipes. As someone who had a goal to prepare new recipes, I need this!

Thank you @kshitij11 ! Potato is currently an Apple snob but we'll work on getting him to see that Android devices are also expensive.

Hi Radu and Dalma, What a delightful and purpose-driven app - I love the backstory of the name! It's so relatable to find that lone potato in the pantry. The feature to extract recipes from social media and cookbooks sounds incredibly useful. I'm curious, how does the app's AI handle more unusual or niche ingredients when suggesting recipes? Wishing you success in helping us all reduce food waste!

Thank you @alex_dulub! We use the grocery list for everything and stuff in the checked off items automatically end up in the fridge section. So we sometimes end up with dish soap or garbage bags in there which are casually ignored by PotatoGPT. I've really tried to get it to make enriched uranium lasagna but failed :(
