What most people don’t realize, is that although potatoes have been rooted as a healthy choice, they are very starchy. I’m sure I have mentioned that potatoes actually spike blood sugar levels higher then sugar! Most people do enjoy mashed potatoes and everything else potato, so this recipe is to show you a potato alternative, that carries the same texture and look as the real deal. However, this is way better! This recipe comes from Eva Cabaca. I have also included a vegan gravy which is yum!
