7 Low-Carb Potato Substitutes (and How to Cook Them All)

low carb potato substitutesDo you miss potatoes on your low-carb diet?

I used to miss them so much. Problem is, they are so versatile. So once you cut out potatoes, you also cut out fries, crisps, mash, roast potatoes… Sigh.

Don’t despair. There is another way.
