Faux-tatoes


Usually, a license plate does not move one to tears. Being the potato geek that I am, I became teary-eyed when I first observed "Famous Potatoes" on my new Idaho plate. Since I had craved potatoes for much of my life, I was pleased that I had the good sense to move to a potato state. I was not low-carbing at the time. 

As a low-carber, I still crave potatoes. I occasionally reward myself with sliced sweet potatoes deep-fried in duck fat. Yum! I only need a small amount and I nibble them slowly.

My photo depicts a breakfast of faux cottage fries. They look just like red potatoes, but you are actually looking at radishes fried in butter and garnished with radish greens. The taste of the radish mellows, the texture resembles a raw potato, the carbs are low, and they are delicious!

  1. Well, I never would have thought of frying radishes! And where does one go to buy duck fat?
