How many of you used some kind of root vegetable last week? I went through nearly 10 pounds of potatoes myself in 7 days! From a delicious potato soup I made for Thanksgiving Eve, to the essential mashed potatoes we had at our actual Thanksgiving dinner, these vegetables really make the meal. That’s why I’m going to the live Facebook chat with Diane Morgan, author of the new “Roots” cookbook. Even though potatoes are pretty classic holiday fare, Diane Morgan will be sharing som eof her new recipes and do-ahead appetizer ideas for all your holiday events, from family get-togethers to potlucks.
Diane’s newest cookbook Roots: The Definitive Compendium is on store shelves now and has already been hailed as one of epicurious.com’s 10 Best Cookbooks of 2012! As a “Real Mom” of two, Diane knows the challenge of preparing healthy fare during the holiday season, so she’ll also be offering a few tips for cooking nutritious but festive meals.
To join the chat, simply “like” the Potatoes, Taters and Spuds Facebook page and begin posting your questions and comments for Diane on the page wall at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on November 26. RSVP here today! During the Facebook chat you’ll have the chance to win Diane’s new cookbook – just in time for the holiday season!

You can check out some of Diane Morgan’s recipes on the PotatoGoodness.com site here, like the Cast Iron Skillet Turkey Hash with Soft Cooked Egg, or the Suneeta Potato Chaat with Cilantro Mint Chutney, and then, the classic Thanksgiving Mashed Potatoes.
