Children mostly know potatoes as side dishes - such as boiled potatoes, French fries, potato pancakes, or mashed potatoes - but here the potato becomes the main dish. The booklet makes the growth and development of a potato plant, as well as the processing steps, tangible for children. They learn about different potato varieties and their various uses in cooking and frying. A self-designed cookbook encourages them to try out and collect their own potato recipes. Children will discover what makes potatoes a powerhouse, how potatoes are cultivated, and the significance of potato eyes through detailed guided experiments. Picture stories illustrate potato cultivation in the past and present. With the help of information pages, puzzles, and games, children can independently explore interesting facts about potatoes.
