potatoes for dinner!

I bought this book because I owned others in this series (ultimate shrimp, ultimate ice cream)--and I'm not disappointed. All the recipes are for main courses with potatoes, so this is a book for real potato lovers. Great soups, really yummy stews, and some cool new things I've never seen before--potato casseroles that are way great. I love all the international dishes, Japanese, Chinese, Irish, French, German, African. It's so cool to make potatoes from around the world.

spud-tastic

Here's a great set of recipes for every spud-lover in your life. Every recipe is a main course--some fudge a little, like "steak frites," but the authors claim it's not steak frites without the frites. Fair enough. But beyond those, there are a terrific set of international dishes, from Congolese to Japanese, from Chinese to Chilean. Who knew the spud was such an international favorite? And there are plenty of home-spun, American recipes, too. From latkes to hash, here's a book that will make the potato the centerpiece of any plate.
