The Potato Project Launches two new Martian-Inspired Dishes to mark the Digital HD Release of The Martian

The Potato Project (Soho, London) today launches TWO new delicious items on their menu to mark the Digital HD release of The Martian, out now.

Ingredients in the deluxe dishes have been inspired by the film (such as red paprika capturing the essence of the dusty Mars planet) and will be available for a limited time only. ‘The Martian Jacket Potato’ has been created by The Potato Project Team and ‘The Martian Wedges’ designed by Sally Bee, ITV Lorraine’s star chef and Ambassador for Albert Bartlett potatoes.

The Martian Jacket Potato – A fluffy Albert Bartlett Rooster jacket potato topped off with a marriage of wasabi prawns & green tomato finished with purple Shiso cress, Red Amaranth and a dash of squid ink salt.

The Martian Wedges – Segments of Albert Bartlett Rooster potato with garlic mayo, chilli oil, a pinch of salted ricotta, topped with a drizzle of lemon syrup.

The Albert Bartlett Rooster potato is the great tasting base for these dishes – look out for its Mars-red skin in most supermarkets and an exciting Martian competition on pack.

From legendary director Ridley Scott, The Martian is a gripping tale of human strength and the will to survive. During a mission to Mars, American astronaut Mark Watney (played by Academy Award™ winner Matt Damon) is presumed dead and left behind. But Watney is still alive. To stay that way he must use all skills and knowledge including growing his own potatoes to survive until a rescue plan to bring him home can be devised.

Visit The Potato Project between Monday 25th January and Friday 13th February to sample the limited edition dishes.
