If you like those little red new potatoes but don't want to eat the starch try boiling some radishes. They taste so similar and fill you up. Haven't mashed um yet, but I like them with a little salt...Yum...

What a great idea. I have a large daikon radish I may cube and boil up.

If it cools down a littlearound here I'm going to try this method tonight. If not, I'll cook them up in the morning and serve them at Sunday brunch. I've been looking for something new to try.
