Skinny spud latte to go? Potato milk hits UK supermarket shelves

Potato milk is described as having a ‘neutral’ flavour, can be mixed in tea and coffee, poured on cereal or used in cooking without overpowering any taste. Some, however, have complained of a ‘saline aftertaste’. Photograph: Dug Drinks UK

Described as “deliciously creamy” and capable of producing the “perfect foam” for a homemade latte or cappuccino, the Swedish potato milk brand Dug goes on sale in 220 Waitrose stores this week.
