A popular lifestyle blogger has brought potato toast to the mainstream. Unlike avocado toast, which involves pureeing the vegetable and spreading it on toasted bread, potato toast involves toasting the potato directly and putting spreads on top. Kelsey Preciado, who runs the food-focused blog, Little Bits Of, explained that the potato serves as a welcome substitute for bread for those looking to limit their gluten and grain intake.
The trend has spread throughout social media, with users sharing their favourite toppings. Some went for avocado, while others were more adventurous with toppings such as chocolate ghee and blueberries and peanut butter, banana and hemp seeds.
With gluten-free alternatives now expected at cafés by customers, it could only be a matter of time before the trend moves from social media and into main street.
