Yummy Potatoes Cookbook

Marlena Speiler is great, and this cookbook has so many great recipes! I've made about 10-12 of them and will continue. Also gave a copy to my daughter for Xmas, with my notes on recipes I've tried and loved. YUMMY is the right title!

New Ideas

I read and review tons of books and this one is a winner. If you love potatoes you will find many new and different ways of serving them from decadent dishes dripping with cheese to healthy ones with nothing but fresh herbs and citrus.

A great book for potato-lovers

I think the previous reviewer is very harsh and can't really back up his reasoning for disliking the book. I have spent a lot of time flipping through it and planning which recipes to try, and have already tried a couple... I think there are some really great ideas in here for a potato-lover who wants to try something newer than the plain old recipes they might be used to. There are great ethnic potato recipes as well as classics with new and interesting twists. I have A LOT of cookbooks, about 80 or so, and I can honestly say that there are several recipes in this book that I am very anxious to try, so don't breeze past this one just because someone else gave it an unfair review. If you love potatoes, this is a great book you should look into.
