There was some very good background information about the potato. The nutritional values, the good and bad of potatoes and some recipes to get you started on your way, Since I am a taco fanatic, I will be making the Baked Taco Toppers Potatoes first but I look forward to trying many of the recipes in this book. I like the fact that they are simple recipes. That is a plus for people that don't have or want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

This book emphasizes how great it is to add potatoes to the diet without mentioning the high cost that all the butter, sour cream, and cheese add. Yet, the author's recipes are heavy on these same condiments. Also, anyone who suggests putting flour on potatoes before frying is not a health-conscious cook. That idea adds calories for no significant benefit.

In the recipe, SEASONED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES, the author tells readers to boil one pound of potatoes in 1/2 cup of chicken stock. To my mind, it isn't possible to cook a pound of potatoes in only 1/2 cup of liquid for the 15 to 20 minutes it takes to get the job done. Perhaps this book should have had better proofing. I read the rest of the recipes but decided these weren't recipes for health-conscious people and deleted the book.

Potato Cookbook: "Super Spud" by Cheryl Leonard
Love potatoes especially just by themselves, no salt, no butter, love flavor all by itself.
TOC where chapters are listed, intro discusses the different types of potatoes and how to use them.
Each recipe, NOT always starts at the top of a new page starts with a title and list of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low fat, low sodium, low sugar and fresh vs canned items.
Directions are given and there are NO pictures, NO nutritional information.
What I do like are the variety of options you have when it comes to make a potato, different methods to cook them and season them.
Goo reference book about potatoes.

Received from a free site, theres only a couple of tater recipes here that i do NOT want to try. (not a fan of bleu cheese, and i can simply leave the sour cream off) but i cant wait to try these, and plan to put this book to very good use.

Recipes look good

Good information on types of potatoes and their uses. Reviewed the recipes. They look like they would be tasty. Plan to try several versions.
