Ok. Having been a carb averse person often in the past 5 years, I'll offer this suggestion.

There are NO ALTERNATIVES to mashed potatoes. Eat your spuds and hit the road and burn them off. Dammit. Cool

I've been experimenting a lot lately with root vegetables and would highly recommend trying sunflower chokes for a puree, mash, or roast potato substitute.

They are very tasty - like a potato but with a subtle sweet/nuttiness that is a lot of fun.

So far, I have the best results with boiling them until slightly tender, then roasting them with rosemary, garlic, olive oil, salt/pepper.


What are sunflower chokes? This sounds interesting but not sure how you would roast this. When I think of roasting I think of meat.
Thanks
