I love potatoes but am allergic to them. I grow them. I know at some point I may *have* to eat them or nothing. But, they make me very ill. <<<
That is so sad, as they are good.
Oh, well, rice and macaroni are almost as good, when used the same way as potatoes.
Tell ya what, I make a mean twice baked rice!!! LOL - Only thing is, I love the tater skin too and I haven't figured out how to make the rice into having a skin. I just bake it in a bowl.
And I have found that couscous is a good substitute for mashed taters. Just put my gravy on that. Am trying to grow parsnips here this year to see if that will help my tater cravings too.
I substitute lots of things but you just can't beat a good baked tater. I am a huge fan of sweet taters also though. Baked sweet tater can't be beat with a stick and I am NOT allergic to those! (and so easy to grow here!)
