Re: What are Ketatoes?

[Guest guest]

Ketatoes are a low carb potato substitute - I'm not sure what they are made

out of - I think you can buy them on-line. I've heard really mixed reviews.

Fauxtatoes is the term generally used for a recipe made from cauliflower (or

daikon radish or turnip or some other lower carb veggie substitute). The

traditional fauxtato recipe is basically mashed cauliflower mixed with

butter and cream, often topped with cheese and baked. If you do an on-line

search, you should find several recipe variations.

I tried making the ketatoes hash browns last night.

Ugh..

maybe if I am REALLY craving potatoes..AND if I get a

fry daddy or something..

oil splattered EVERYWHERE..they stuck to the bottom of

my (stainless steel) pan...

too much work for 1 serving (3.5 carbs, 170 calories,

and this kinda crispy thing)...well, I probably got

half a serving out of the whole thing...

again if I was having a major french fry/potato chip

craving which pork rinds wouldn't fix..I might use

them for this purpose again..

this weekend I'm going to try making them as mashed

potatoes (a more involved process, but I figure I'll

make a lot and I can take some for lunches next week

in gladware)...I'll let you know how they turned out.

I will say one thing..YES they taste just like

potatoes...well, kinda like those potato flake

things...I am not a huge potato freak...my carbo

addiction tends to sugar more than starch...if you are

into potatoes and don't mind frying and such, I would

highly recommend this product. My husband is a big

potato eater and I give him a piece and he loved

it..he was the one who suggested getting a fry daddy

(I said we would if he went low-carbing *hehe*...he

said he'd think about it).
