Passion for Potatoes
Passion for Potatoes: member book reviews
southerncooker from Boomer, NC
When I was growing up there were three things that were always on our table at supper time, one was some kind of meat, the 2nd was usually corn bread but occasionally biscuits, and the last and most important was potatoes, so naturally this was a book I had to add to my collection.
On the back of the book there are praises for the book from such famous people as Patricia Wells, and Alice Waters. Inside along with the recipes is a history of potatoes, how to store them, and potato folklore.
Chapters included are:
Appetizers; Soups; Potato Salads; Breads; Main Courses; Mashed Potatoes;
Baked,Sauteed, Braised and Roasted Potatoes; Fries; Gratins and Scalloped Potatoes; Potato Dumplings and Gnocchi; Potato Pancakes; and Desserts.
It only has a few pictures and they are black and white drawings, mostly of potatoes. I love the sidebars on each page. They tell something about
the recipe itself - such as where it came from, what to serve with the dish, or ideas, tips ect.
