Product Description

Layered in a creamy gratin, shaped into rustic gnocchi with pesto, or puréed into a comforting soup, potatoes are a versatile ingredient in any cook's kitchen. As a light summer dish or a hearty winter supper, potatoes lend themselves to nearly any means of preparation and can be served at any time of year.

Williams-Sonoma Collection Potato offers an array of more than 40 recipes for time-honored favorites as well as delicious new ideas. Whether you want to make perfectly crisp, golden French fries or try spicy roasted fingerling potatoes dipped in a tangy sauce, there are dishes in these pages to please everyone. A chapter of potato salads will help you find an innovative version of this classic using artichokes, feta cheese, or red bell pepper to take along on your next picnic. And, a chapter devoted entirely to breakfast will make your mornings brighter with offerings such as hash browns and sweet potato pancakes with orange-honey butter.

Enticing photographs help you decide which dish to prepare, and photographic side notes highlight key ingredients and techniques, making Potato much more than a fine collection of recipes. An informative basics section and extensive glossary round out all you need to know to make the versatile potato a delicious part of any meal.

Customer Reviews

The BEST potato cookbook!
We first checked this book out from the library, but soon it was apparent that no one in our family was going to let it be returned, so here I am to buy it!
Every recipe we have made has been wonderful. Many family favorites are contained here. And our favorite part? Pictures for EVERY recipe!

Excellent Variety of Recipes
Let's face it, in America potatos are a traditional sidedish. This book actually teaches you how to use them to make everything from the simplest to most elegant dishes in an easy-to-follow fashion. I actually consider this to be one of my favorites in the collection because it does not require as many specialty ingredients as the other books.

COMPLETE COLLECTION OF BASIC POTATO RECIPES
THIS BOOK HAS GREAT RECIPES FOR EVERY TYPE OF POTATO DISH YOU WANT TO MAKE. IT'S DIVIDED UP BY DIFFERENT CLASSES, LIKE "THE CLASSICS" WHICH HAS RECIPES FROM "CLASSIC" POTATO DISHES. EACH SECTION HAS SOME TRADITIONAL AND SOME DIFFERENT RECIPES FOR EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TUBER. CHECK OUT THE OTHER WILLIAMS-SONOMA COOKBOOKS AS WELL. ALL ARE GREAT IN MY OPINION.
