At that point, I had been staying with some relatives in Fosston, Minnesota, for three weeks, so I had started to get used to hearing the trudging of feet early in the morning as everyone got up and ready to get going on the farm. But that morning, the clank, clank, clank, that reached my room just below the kitchen, reminded me that I would be learning how to make potato klubb1 later in the day. I had no idea what potato klubb were when Terry, my cousin who was hosting me, excitedly suggested that we should make them.

  • The Ultimate Potato Book
    The Ultimate Potato Book Hundreds of Ways to Turn America's Favorite Side Dish into a Meal BRUCE WEINSTEIN & MARK SCARBROUGH TO MARIANNE MACY, the sexiest potato eater in Manhattan Contents Introduction 1 A Potato Primer 3 Ingredients and Equipment 11 Potato Recipes, A to Z 17 Potato Recipes Listed by Type of Potato Used 247 Source Guide 250 Index 253 Acknowledgments 273 About the Author Books by Bruce Weinstein Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher Introduction Here's the most radical thing we can tell you: The Ultimate Potato Book is a book of main courses. That may not seem like much--until you think about potatoes. They're side dishes, right? Mashed, roasted, fried, whatever. Sometimes they make a main course debut in a soup; usually they're relegated to the edge of the plate. We've decided to put them front and center. The recipes are alphabetized, mostly without the word ªpotatoº in their titles: Lasagna, in other words, not ªPotato Lasagna.º If you thumb through the book, you'll get the hang of how it works. But we'll admit it right up front: some of our cataloguing is idiosyncrat- ic. Provençal Stew, for example. It's a potato/tomato stew with Pernod. Some main courses naturally include potatoes on the side. Steak Frites, for example. But the potatoes aren't really a ªsideº so much as a co-dish, half the whole, integral to the entree. Although we're passionate about potatoes as main courses, you may still want to make them as traditional sides.
