A GLOBE & MAIL BESTSELLER

You asked, and she delivered—this is Poppy Cooks' all-potato cookbook. Whether you like them fried, baked, mashed, or roasted, TikTok's High Priestess of the Potato gives you the ultimate potato book.

The spud—the humblest of ingredients—can be made into more than just mashed potatoes (but if it is mash, make it the best mashed potatoes ever), and in this book Poppy O'Toole celebrates the range and variety from just this one mighty ingredient. In these pages, Poppy gives you all the tools you need to achieve the perfect potatoes every time—whether it's a trusted roasted potato, a melt-in-the-mouth fondant, moreish fries and wedges or the perfect bake. Poppy includes all the most-loved potato dishes alongside mouth-watering international classics (think latkes, dauphinoise and patatas bravas), and even some old-school favourites (hello, potato smiles), not to mention a whole chapter dedicated to her sensational 15-hour potatoes.

Across 101 recipes, Poppy shares her top tips and tricks for cooking with different methods and flavours to give you THE book you need to raise your spud game and cook like the Potato Queen herself.
