The Ultimate Potato Book, Cookbook of the Day

by Nicole Weston, Posted Sep 14th 2006 @ 8:05AM

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.

The Ultimate Potato Book capitalizes on the versatility of the potato to provide an astounding number of ways to incorporate this very nutritious food into your diet. The potato is used in basic side dishes and long-time favorites, like hash and potato skins, but the book mostly uses it as the centerpiece for a meal, rather than as a side. There are lots of international recipes and variations on basic themes, although the basics are always included, so it is a volume that you will definitely get a lot of use of. All of the recipes are easy to follow, with clear and well-written instructions.
