Idaho farmers and the hearty pioneer stock will tell you that a good Russett is healthy food. But for me, potatoes are way too high in carbs (a 3-4" diameter potato is about 65 grams). Enter: CAULIFLOWER! 
This fabulous white veggie is a great potato substitute. At 2.5 grams per one-cup serving, cauliflower is great as a raw vegetable in salad, and can also be mashed just like potatoes, boiled and served with a variety of seasonings, roasted with a little olive oil, sauteed. Almost any way that you can cook a potato, you can cook cauliflower and it tasted delicious! For my birthday, instead of cheesy potatoes, we had cheesy cauliflower --- same great recipe but instead of potatoes we used cauliflower cubes. Saturday we cooked cauliflower and then topped it just like a loaded baked potato with cheese, bacon bits, green onions. Fabulous!

I'm here to confirm... the cheesy cauliflower was delicious and you'd never know it wasn't the high-carb potatoes.
