A potato that tastes like roast chicken? That’s what chef Dan Barber and his team discovered with the Poulette, a new variety created by Cornell University researchers who crossed a rare French heirloom potato with one of their own breeding lines. More than a decade in the making, the Poulette has a rich, savory flavor unlike any potato Barber has tasted before.
I already didn’t expect it to taste like chicken. At least it apparently doesn’t taste like garbage.
