Potato Project is a Portuguese quick-service frite shop in Lisbon that specialises in fresh-cut, never-frozen French fries made from locally sourced potatoes. The shop's frite experts hand-cut each potato into 12 mm frites, blanch them at low temperature, rest them, and finish each order to golden crisp perfection. Alongside the fries, Potato Project offers specialty sauces imported from the Netherlands and a range of fresh toppings and grated cheeses, allowing customers to build custom creations.
Founded as an idea between friends in Lisbon, Potato Project opened its doors in the city's historic centre at Rua da Conceição. The company imports its sauces and frying oil directly from the Netherlands to maintain quality standards. Potatoes are delivered fresh daily from a local farmer. As of the latest information, the company is seeking franchise candidates to expand its concept beyond the single Lisbon location.
