Williams-Sonoma Collection: Potato

Wow, I own quite a few of the Williams Sonoma cookbooks, but this one is the best I've purchased. I read one of the non-glowing reviews about this book and am really perplexed that the person stated there was not a good selection of recipes. I'm shocked because I just received the book a few days ago, and sticky-tagged all the recipes I'll be making for my family in the next month or so. There are side-dish recipes, potatoes for breakfast recipes (delicious looking oven roasted hash browns that look yummy...), potato pancakes, Thanksgiving accompaniments, and all sorts of beautiful recipes, yet they seem easy to prepare. Photos are gorgeous too.Potatoes are a staple at my home and we don't eat a huge portion of them at dinner, but do like a little potato side dish at our meals. I usually cook them at least 3-4 times a week, so this book is really going to come in handy for my family.This book is great and since it's been out a while, you should be able to pick it up for the phenomenal price of 1 cent (which is what I paid), plus $3.99 for shipping. Book was in great condition (actually better than advertised condition). I don't hesitate to purchase books for a penny anymore because they're in good to great shape. Why pay more?

Loved this book. Great pictures. Love the side captions. Wiliam Sonoma does it right with these books. I own the entire collection and plan on having them for a very long time. Hopefully one day will be able to say I made every recipe in the book which seems possible. Some people my not like the limited number of recipes but I feel this is a great example of quality over quantity. Somebody really put some love in this book and it shows. Everything I have made so far has been great. Once you buy one you will want them all. Great way to explore one of my favorite vegetables.

I bought this book as a gift for a friend's birthday. It has great pictures to accompany each recipe and the recipes looked delicious. My friend loved it. I only gave it four stars because since I gave it away, I did not try any of the recipes myself so I can't say how difficult they were or how they tasted/turned out.

I bought a bunch of these here on Amazon for a few dollars each for my daughters who expressed interest in learning how to entertain and cook for themselves and company, most of the books in the series are great for just this purpose, being a Disabled Veteran on a fixed income I really wouldn’t want to pay the full retail price and judging by the sheer abundance of used copies for next to nothing I am not the only one who didn’t.TLDR great when bought used recommended at a used price.

If you love potatoes like we do you will love this book. It is full of great recipes that include the "classics" as well as some we've never seen before. While the recipes are wonderful and fairly simple the illustrations are fabulous! Just browsing through the book and looking at the pictures makes your mouth water!

One of my favorite recipe books for the holidays!

This book may be the worst thing that's ever happened to my diet, but I don't care! Potatoes are now a staple in my home. LOVE IT! So many delicious options!

This is easily the most basic recipe book I have ever seen printed. Recipes only have one seasoning listed, and it's usually salt. There are a lot of mashed potato recipes, where you only add one ingredient; mashed potatoes with garlic on one page, and mashed potatoes with cheese on the next. I am astonished that something this simplistic was printed.
