🥔 OhAPotato

From fridge to fork — cook what you have.

OhAPotato is a free, AI-powered recipe finder that helps you cook great meals from the ingredients you already have at home. Instead of searching for a recipe and then shopping for a long list of items, OhAPotato works the other way around: you tell it what's in your fridge and pantry, and it finds the best recipes that match.

How It Works

Select ingredients from a visual grid covering proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and pantry staples. OhAPotato searches multiple recipe databases — including Edamam and Spoonacular — and returns ranked results based on how many of your selected ingredients each recipe uses. Kitchen staples like salt, butter, garlic, olive oil, eggs, and flour are pre-selected by default so you don't have to tick them every time.

Features

What You Can Cook

OhAPotato covers hundreds of ingredient combinations. Whether you have chicken breast and broccoli, pasta and canned tomatoes, ground beef and taco shells, or just eggs and cheese, the app finds matching recipes ranked by ingredient match percentage. Results include cook time, difficulty, serving size, and full nutrition information per serving.

Chef Mode

For any recipe, Chef Mode uses Gemini AI to provide Michelin-level cooking insights: the techniques involved, the food science behind the dish, ingredient substitution ideas, plating suggestions, and drink pairings. It's like having a professional chef explain exactly how to make a great version of the recipe.

Meal Planner

The built-in weekly meal planner generates a full week of breakfast, lunch, and dinner suggestions matched to your dietary preferences, with calorie and macro targets per meal. You can customise for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, paleo, and keto diets. A built-in shopping list collects everything you need for the week.
