Amazon.com Review

The potato is the world's number one vegetable, so many cookbooks have been devoted to it over the years. The Potato Cookbook by Janet Reeves includes a 400-year history, nutritional information, and 35 tips for cooking spuds. The 300-plus recipes cover every imaginable use of potatoes. Likely favorites are the crisply roasted, thick potato peels called "Picks," which are low fat and healthful; Currant-Potato Scones; all 20 recipes for potato salads; easy Black Forest Cake; Meat and Potato Meatloaf; and Quick Fish Cakes. You'll also learn about the International Potato Centre in Peru and the Potato Museum in Washington, D.C.

This review is from: Potato Cookbook, The (Paperback)

I am a potato FREAK, so of course I bought this cookbook. Problems: no pictures, and some of the recipes are really weird--like it's a contest to see what meals you can fit a potato into--like "potato candy". Much better is the Williams-Sonoma Potato Cookbook.
