– THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER –

‘Not simply a social media sensation but, heartwarmingly, the actual, real thing... She is the High Priestess of The Potato.’ – Nigella Lawson

‘My jaw dropped when I opened this book – all I want to cook and eat now is potatoes. I am obsessed.’ – Nathan Anthony, Bored of Lunch

‘Poppy deserves to be both knighted and locked up for services to potatoes. She’s a genius.’ – Dermot O'Leary

You asked, and she delivered – this is Poppy Cooks: The Potato Book, the 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 mash (but if it is mash, make it the best mash ever), and in this book, Poppy O'Toole celebrates the range and variety from this mighty ingredient. In these pages, Poppy gives you all the tools you need to achieve the perfect potatoes every time – whether it's a trusty roast, a melt-in-the-mouth fondant, moreish wedges and chips 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 smilies), 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.
