The Ultimate Spud Celebration: Poppy Cooks: The Potato Book

Poppy O’Toole—better known to her 4 million TikTok followers as Poppy Cooks—has done the unthinkable: she’s devoted an entire cookbook to the humble potato. The Potato Book: 101 Recipes from the Potato Queen is the culinary ode spud-lovers everywhere have been waiting for.
