Potatoes: The Australian Kitchen

The humble spud has come of age. POTATOES celebrates all that is good, new and improved about the world’s most popular vegetable.

Over the last few years in Australia many different varieties of potato have become available-but which varieties are best for mashing, or for making the crispiest potato chips, and how do you select the best, store, prepare and cook them? POTATOES tells you all you need to know. The informative text also covers sweet potatoes, yams, taros, cassava and Jerusalem artichokes. Stunning colour photographs by Rodney Weidland and David Young identify the tubers and show a range of tempting dishes, from Sweet Potato and Spinach Tortilla, Spiced Mango and Potato Salad to Potato Galette with Muscatels.
