Related to Potato
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is denser (139 g/cup vs 156 g/cup), sweeter and softer once cooked. Roast it at the same temperature but check earlier, as the sugars brown it faster, and expect less starchy bite. See our Sweet Potato converter.
Cauliflower
Low-carb swap for mash and gratin. Cauliflower (111 g/cup) carries much less starch, so the mash turns out lighter and looser. Drain well after boiling or the result waterlogs. See our Cauliflower converter.
Beetroot
A medium potato at 213 g outweighs a medium beetroot at 82 g by two and a half times, so a tray built for four potatoes needs about ten beetroot. The beetroot converter helps with the count. See our Beetroot converter.
