Potato-riffic!

Interesting history, good reviews of all the different types of potatoes, mostly doable recipes. Tried a couple & they were good.

Super Spud Book

Any spudophile will love this book. A lengthy but fascinating introduction relates the history of the noble potato as well as useful tips for cooking and storing.
