On this topic I have to add diabetic mashed potatoes. Since potatoes

are very bad for a diabetic, a good substitute for mashed potatoes is

to take a head of cauliflower and steam it. Pat it dry with paper

towels and mash with butter and milk, salt and pepper, just like you

would do with potatoes. The cauliflower must be steamed so that it is

soft or they won't whip right. If they are lumpy, you can put them in

a food processor, but most of the time a regular mixer does a great

job. I was amazed at how good they are. I made this for my FIL who

HATES cauliflower. I had to chuckle when he ate the whole bowl

himself. After he was done I told him what he ate and he was shocked.

Home fries can be made by grating the raw cauliflower and frying them

just like you would potatoes. Add a little butter while frying to

help the browning, add salt & pepper and enjoy!
