[Stephen Robert Collins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Potatoes have changed history from The Elizabethan times to Irish potato famine to Vincent Van Gogh paintings.
This collection of interesting recipes and side dishes Inc few cakes on them. Arbroath Smokies to Indian food.
But there is no purple potatoes or Fury apple potatoes which I found upsetting but can't win them all.

James Martin can do no wrong in my eyes. A Yorkshireman of course, born not far from where I live.
Easy on the eye, makes some excellent food/travel programmes and most importantly his recipes really work.
Potato follows on from his recent tome entitled Butter. The book is beautifully photographed and packed full of potato dishes that I really want to cook. Apart from the Crisp Sandwich recipe that is - even if the crisps are home made. Just wrong, especially as he butters the bread (of course).
I've already made the Crab Cakes with Katsu sauce, which went down well with everyone.
