My better half has been diagnosed pre-diabetic. Time for a lot of menu changes. Out with the starch in with the veggies. I've been working on this for years... But I love potatoes, pasta and corn. Rice, meh.
In the UK Rutabagas are also called Swedish Turnips or Swedes. I have no idea where I read that but I love Rutabagas and all things Brassica. I think Rutabagas are related to cauliflower and mustard, and those are genus Brassica. I could look that up and be correct but the stream of conciousness is flowing freely now.
I think potatoes are Tatties. Hence Swedes and Tatties. Basically a lower carb replacement for Mashed Potatoes.
1 LB Potato 1/2" dice
1 Large carrot chopped
1/2 onion diced
4-6 cloves of garlic, smashed.
Boil all of the above until fork tender, drain. reserve some water if needed to thin the smash. using a hand masher or imersion blender smash to desired consistency.
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Good Cheddar (grate yourself for better flavor)
Adams Reserve, Cabot Reserve, Cathedral City, Dubliner
1-2 tsp herbs du provence
1-2 tsp salt to taste
1 - 3 tsp garlic to taste
1/2 - 1 tsp ground pepper to taste
Blend all of the above into the smash, increase ingredients to taste.
I didn't say it was healthy, just lower in carbs
