Review: Love Vintage Recipes

For most holidays, I opt to share a vintage recipe with the family. Sometimes a dessert from Martha Washington's cookbook, other times a veggie dish from the Civil War. Clearly, I couldn't let this book go without picking up a copy. And, also clearly - my family will be having a post-World War II potato experience at the next holiday dinner!  The book contains great takes on classic dishes such as mashed and scalloped potatoes, but it also had several types of potato dishes I'd never heard of like Potato Candy and Stewed Potatoes. I have to say, though, the one I'm most looking forward to trying is the Potato Pancake. In our family the best potato pancakes were made by an elderly relative who passed away without telling anyone how she made them - so I'm hoping one of these three versions will come close to hers.  Highly recommended.
