A remarkable book that lifts potatoes from the commonplace. 250 different recipes.


Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are First Family Americans, and though of ancient and very honorable lineage, they are of the most humble origin and have lived all their early life as companions of the poor. Today their value as food is clearly recognized and so appreciated that they are one of the mainstays of rich and poor alike.


In addition to a considerable supply of Vitamin C, their chief virtue lies in the fact that they are among the few bulky heat-producing foods that help to keep the body alkaline, while they provide a generous amount of minerals and enough protein to maintain the adult in health.


While the alert homemaker recognizes their nutritional value she is often at a loss to serve them to her family in sufficient variety to maintain interest and enthusiasm. Growing children need quantities of potatoes, and a new recipe almost every day is possible with the help of this book. In it will be found all the old favorites and new ones galore.
