Low Carb Brabant Potatoes. I think one of the things most diabetics or people going low carb for the first time miss are potatoes. Though I have never eaten tons of potatoes I certainly like them, these are a terrific substitute and easy, easy, easy. Brabant potatoes are nothing more than deep fried cubed potatoes and the only thing we are doing is cubing daikon radish instead. Cut differently and still deep fried, they make a great french fry substitute. Use your favorite oil and I use my own rendered tallow and butter is great too. The flavor? OMG and good grief. Low Carb brabant potatoes barely needs a recipe they are so easy. Can substitute these for Caramelized Zucchini in Chicken Tchoupitoulas.

- The small amount of fat adds a few calories but...on this site we do care about good fats and good grief, your kids can even put sugarfree ketchup on them.
- It is OK to crowd them assuming your oil is hot enough as they will shrink a bit.
Wow Deborah, you weren’t kidding these were awesome. I did half chips and half fries. Brilliant. Need to find it cheaper tho, it was 5 bucks for one root.
Told ya. I buy mine at the Hollywood farmers market in the fall here in Portland. My farmer and his wife asked me what in heavens name I did with all of them and I gave them several recipes. I have sometimes bought 5-6 of them and spent the afternoon slicing and frying them for “chips”. Seriously to die for.
