Everyone loves potatoes. This book transports cooks beyond
the usual side dishes and introduces them to the secrets and
specialties of great chefs and cooks the world over.
Finamore shows how to prepare spectacularly simple
appetizers, including dips, chips, and showstopping cocktail
potatoes made from a few ordinary ingredients.
He presents dozens of soups and salads, including rich
Summer Vichyssoise and Herb Garden Potato Salad. There are
more than fifty main-dish possibilities, such as Sunday Lamb
with Proper Roast Potatoes and Chicken Stuffed with Potatoes
and Shiitake Mushrooms — not to mention a sophisticated
rendition of Shepherd"s Pie. The potato turns up as the
hidden ingredient in such breads as Potato Cheddar Bread
with Chives and in such desserts as moist Farmhouse
Chocolate Cake.
Finamore shows how to master crisp steak fries, silky mashes,
and sumptuous gratins. A bonus feature of the book is the
sweet potato,
in dishes from a delightfully nostalgic Baked Sweet Potatoes
with Marshmallow to an urbane Semifreddo with Chocolate Sauce.
