Date: June 09, 2009 04:27PM I am still eating cooked English potatos but what is a good raw food to replace this. This gives me a carb and gives me a lot to go on. Is there an equivalent raw food. Re: Potato replacement

If you don't mind the volume, watermelon is great. Dates also work. I like the drier Deglet Noors. Re: Potato replacement

Date: June 10, 2009 12:33PM carbs aside, mashed up avocado with a little sea salt is a nice replacement for that comfort-food-feeling that mashed pototoes gives  Re: Potato replacement

Date: June 10, 2009 09:19PM I like slightly-sprouted buckwheat groats (i.e., with a "tail" only about as long as the groat) -- the taste even reminds me a little of potatoes (but mind you, it's probably been three years since I ate any potatoes to speak of). I suspect you could throw them in the blender and come up with something resembling mashed potatoes, but I haven't tried that so far.
My current favorite way to eat them is buckwheat crackers -- I just stir a pinch of sea salt into the slightly-sprouted groats, run them once through my Omega juicer with the blank cone in place, make little patty-cakes (after dipping my fingers in water so the dough won't stick), and dehydrate them directly on the mesh racks of my dehydrator till they're *very* crisp.

Date: June 11, 2009 02:28AM I should add that I don't think potatoes need replacing.
Just that healthy food does exist to make up for the calories. Re: Potato replacement

Date: June 11, 2009 08:07AM Carol, I use a potatopeeler and make strips, put them on a dehydratortray and sprinkle some himalayan salt. You can also dry in the sun from morning until crisp.
