Potatoes seem to have gotten some bad publicity over the last couple of years, since the tubers are high in carbs and carbs became the enemy of many, even some who never really followed a strict no-carb diet. But potatoes are versatile and nutritious. A potato contains lots of potassium (40% more than bananas) and up to 40% of the RDA of iron, in addition to being high in B and C vitamins and low in fat.
We can change the way we make eggs -- scrambled, poached, fried -- but what about changing the eggs themselves? Mix up your scrambling routine with quail eggs.

I've always thought the potato was severely underrated, so I'm definitely going to have a look at this book. Aside from their great nutritive value, and the hundreds of ways they can be used in recipes, they also make great projectiles!
