Our story to cook more and reduce food waste
Hi.
We’re Radu and Dalma, the makers behind OH, a potato!
We found ourselves in the same loop every week: Shopping hungry >> Buying too much >> Forgetting about most of it >> Mourning the moldy blueberries.
We wanted to do better. We tried Notion boards. We tried saving reels. We even tried other meal planner apps, but they were all about either weight loss or boring, ugly spreadsheets, not real life.
We wanted an app that: 1. Finds recipes for what’s already in the fridge 2. Grabs recipes from anywhere (random screenshots, reels, cookbooks) 3. Lets both of us meal plan (without passive-aggressive texts), 4. Has an integrated grocery list and 5. Looks beautiful.
So OH, a potato! was born, a meal planning grocery list app.
Now, why the name OH, a potato!?
We were actively thinking about how to name our app.
Then came the sprouted potato, a literal sign from the food waste gods. A forgotten, sprouting potato at the back of our fridge. It reminded us that every forgotten ingredient could be something amazing... if we just had the right nudge.
OH, a potato! is that nudge. Less waste. Better meals.
Our food waste problem wasn’t about caring, it was about having the right tools.
Join us. Let’s make sprouted potatoes a story, not a lifestyle.
