One potato, two potato, three potato-four! Introducing the next book in our thriving 101 series, 101 Things to do With a Potato. Each year, the average American consumes close to 140 pounds of potatoes. With that in mind, nothing seems better than a cookbook featuring one of America's major food staples-the potato! "Mrs. 101" Stephanie Ashcraft has ingeniously created simple recipes that take potatoes to a whole new level. Try a Breakfast Burrito in the morning, sample the Sausage Corn Chowder for lunch, have the Italian Potato Chips as a mid-afternoon snack, for dinner try the Potato Crust Pizza, and then savor the Sweet Potato Cheesecake for dessert!
Stephanie Ashcraft, author of the New York Times best-selling 101 Things to do With a Cake Mix, is a full-time mom who has created and collected recipes for years. She also teaches a monthly cooking class for Macey's Little Cooking Theater in Orem and Provo, Utah. She is currently living in Provo, Utah, with her family.

Summary: Who doesn't love a good potato?
Comment: Potatoes are cheap, good for you, have a long (refrigerator) shelf life, and the potential to be very tasty. While many of these recipes don't appeal to the educated palate, they probably taste just fine to people who think chikcen tenders are real food. And in that group, the majority are teens and 20-somethings. Because these recipes are pretty straightforward and don't call for a lot of exotic ingredients, they are just that much more appealing to our young people. Throw in a gift card to a grocery store and you've got a great graduation, birthday, or other holiday gift for your favorite 20-something who's recently left home and gone out on his own. 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother

Summary: Potato Potato Potato Tomato
Comment: There should be a warning on #58-72 (adults only). Also, not too fond of #83, Potato can substitute for ping pong ball in a game of chess.

Summary: Potatoes Plus
Comment: I can't believe all the things that are possible to do with a potato! Recipes look easy to follow and don't have a lot of impossible to find ingredients. Wish there were pictures though.

Summary: Creative Ideas
Comment: One potato is about 100 calories and is a good source of Vitamin C. While it is a fat-free food to start with, who can resist butter and sour cream?
Stephanie Ashcraft loves to create the 101 Things to Do With A ...cookbooks and she is a highly creative cook who knows how to create delicious recipes. She has a bachelor's degree in family science. She has been teaching cooking classes since 1998.
