Replacing Potatos

Cauliflower as low-carb potato substitute – “Tater tots”
  • Cut one large head of cauliflower into chunks
  • Steam or boil them, then mash using potato masher or blender
  • Add 2 eggs, ½ cup (2oz / 60g) of parmesan cheese, ½ large shredded onion
  • Form round or oval shapes and place them on a greased baking tray
  • Bake in a hot oven 220C (fan 200C), Gas Mark 8, 400F, for about 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden on the outside

Kohlrabi as low-carb potato substitute – Fritters
  • Take 1-2 large kohlrabi, cut off the leaves, peel and grate
  • Put the grated kohlrabi in a tea towel and squeeze to remove moisture as much as possible
  • Add 1-2 eggs, salt and pepper and mix
  • Add oil to a frying pan or skillet – enough for about ¼ inch (5mm) depth and heat over medium high heat
  • Place small patties of the mixture into the oil
  • Fry on one side until brown, then on the other side
  • Place on a paper towel before serving to remove excess oil
Swede as low-carb potato substitute – Roasted
  • Take one large swede, peel and cut into chips
  • Tip into a shallow roasting dish, add olive oil, salt and pepper (plus maybe some rosemary)
  • Roast for 30-35 minutes in a hot oven 220C (fan 200C), Gas Mark 8, 400F, until crisp and golden on the outside
