Potatoes are easy to cook, cheap, and very tasty food. The simple root vegetable was introduced to Europe in the 16th century but only began to be cultivated in Sweden in the 1720s and eventually became popular. In many countries, the potato is the most used and popular food with a taste that suits everyone.
Because potatoes can be prepared in infinitely many ways, they have become a cherished ingredient in various national dishes and are part of several countries' culinary heritage. But it is still much more than a dull everyday root vegetable. The book tells the story of the tuber, from its origin in Peru, where it was a necessary element in the Inca Indians' food culture, to the royal courts of Europe, where it quickly became a new element in food preparation and then spread to the poor.
The book begins with a presentation of the most important potato varieties. This is followed by more than 100 clear and richly illustrated recipes from around the world for soups, salads, and other potato dishes, such as grilled, fried, boiled, or oven-baked. You can also use potatoes in desserts; try making the mouth-watering potato waffles or the sweet potato soufflé! You will get wonderful inspiration from the master chefs who share their best potato recipes.
