The humble potato, so round, comforting and unassuming. Yet this rotund bestie has the most INSANE backstory. And just like all potato junk food, this story is delicious and addictive! Watch Anurag and Akanksha as they dig up the past (and maybe some aloos) and ride that potato wave that swept the world. This story may begin in South America but this yummy, creamy root has made its place in the cookbooks of our hearts and the history of human civilization.    Twitter: @padhakupanda  Facebook: @padhakupandapod  Instagram: @padhakupanda    Also available on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts!   New Episodes out every Friday!
