Smashed Potatoes is a 1974 book edited by Jane G. Martel, consisting of essays relating to the nature and uses of food in modern society. It was unique in its day for not only exploring the reasons behind human reactions to food, but also for investigating how these were influenced by racial and sexual stereotypes. The essays were juxtaposed with recipes written by children, to demonstrate the effect of age on food perception.
