The Famous Potato from Attack on Titan: Crispy Potato Wedges

The potato scene in Attack on Titan became a meme: Sasha Blouse hides a baked potato during a formal ceremony and eats it right in formation. The moment made potato a symbol of simple joys in a brutal world.

History and origin

Sasha Blouse comes from the village of Dauper, where meat and tubers were the main food. Her passion for eating is not just a character trait but a reflection of a hungry childhood in a world where food is scarce.

Key ingredients

The simplest way to honour Sasha is to roast potato wedges. You need potatoes (new ones work best), olive oil, salt, garlic and rosemary. Roast at 200°C until golden and crisp.

How to cook at home

Cut the potatoes into wedges of even thickness so they cook uniformly. Before roasting, pat the wedges dry with kitchen paper: wet potato steams instead of crisping.
