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!)

I totally love potatoes but they are restricted on the kidney disease diet. Too much potassium. You’re supposed to soak them in water for a couple of hours first but that leaches out all the vitamins. I do miss them. :(

Sounds good to me, are you going to post the recipe for the twice baked rice?

I couldn’t grow sweet potatoes here.

I’ve been eating baked sweet potato fries lately, because I have to watch my potato intake too. Boy, are those good!
