Does anyone know the name of a vegetable that taste like potatoes.?!
Answers: I went to a cuban party and they had this white stuff that taste like potatoes, It didnt taste like rutabagas. I couldnt even pronounce the name of it, but very good. Does anyone know the name of this and if it can be bought at a grocery store.
Cassava, aka Yuca
"Yuca (also known as Cassava) is a root that is traditionally used as a side dish in Latin American cuisine. It is quite similar to potatoes and has a delicious white pulp that can be stewed, boiled or fried and is often served with mojo criollo."
Might possibly be parsnips. Before potatoes became widely used as the staple side-dish in European and American cooking, the parsnip was used in its place quite often.
plantains yucca or malanga maybe
Probably parsnips!
Yam...used a lot in caribbean and african cooking
cauliflower? I know some people mash them like potatoes.
Could it be that it was potatoes after all and
the unpronouncable name was the cuban

Could it be Rutabaga? a large white root vegetable that you chop, boil and mash, just like potatoes.
