Healthy Recipe: Mock Mashed Potatoes

[PirateOfTheInternet]

Spray butter is awesome! You're the only other person I've ever seen who uses it.

[eateastIndian]

Good one! Looking fwd to more low carb recipes!

[PSJ71]

I am making this right now! I can't wait to see how it turns out! Thank you once again Rocky for taking the time to share your recipes with all of us! You are absolutely the BEST. :) Much love, Paulette

[rockybarragan]

yay! please let me know how they came out and if you put anything differently in them.

thank you!

[PSJ71]

They were AWESOME!! I didn't have the chicken broth though. I thought I had some, but when I looked, I didn't. I put some butter and just a little skim milk in it and salt and pepper. I also made the unfried chicken too, which was a HUGE hit. My husband LOVED It. I got it a little spicy though, but it was AWESOME!! Thank you for those recipes! Hugs!!!

[rockybarragan]

yay! lol i actually made the breaded chicken again last night along with carrot fries. i think the chicken is my new fav.

thank you! <3

[neecyd63]

mmmm those look so great! i know i will def try these!

[rockybarragan]

i think i'm making this whole meal again tonight. lol i have all the ingredients. been craving it since last week.

[rockybarragan]

Thanks! :D

[angienicholas]

I just might have to try this one. this is a great idea would have never thought of it.

[rockybarragan]

Thank you! Let me know what you think!

[goodtogo3]

cauliflower mash even fooled my family

[rockybarragan]

lol

[JasonsLea]

I'm going to try this one too!

[rockybarragan]

yay! let me know how it comes out!

[abbeymore1]

Thanks for this! I missed what you did with the chicken broth though. i'll def. be trying it soon though. do you think my olive oil spray already on hand would work? if not i an put just a bit of butter, though a spray it seems would be better.

[rockybarragan]

i just put about less than a tablespoon in just for flavor. you can definitely skip it.

[gastricRose]

I like doing the same with sweet potatos mmm good ...now I have to go in my kitchen and do carrots cause your recipes always rock ....thanks girl...love ya...love rosemary

[rockybarragan]

now i want sweet potatoes. :| lol

love ya rosemary!

[FindingTee]

I heard calliflower is a great sub for mash potatoes.

[rockybarragan]

it's supposed to be but cauliflower by itself, at least for me....not so good. that's why i did my cauliflower and parsnip mash a few weeks back. had a better constitancy.

[FindingTee]

Thats good to know, thanks for the tip.

[IamKris411]

I think a nice addition would be garlic! Minced or powder! mmm (I'm a huge garlic fan though haha)

[rockybarragan]

oo i bet it would! yeah, you can never go wrong with garlic that and chili pepper flakes.

[genuinelysarcastic]

hi there! GREAT video! what other vegetables could I use? I don't like carrots too much.

[rockybarragan]

try the parsnip and cauliflower mash i did. that was really good. i'll keep coming up with more ideas.

[xf89]

Thanks Rocky! They look so good! :)

[rockybarragan]

thanks! :D

[mikilynn2]

Thanks Rocky!  Nice tip!

[rockybarragan]

thank you!

[lisabgreen512]

Definately Making Those! I'm a sweet Potato girl and I think Carrots will provide that hint of Sweetness I like minus the carbs! Thanks for another great idea Rocky!

[rockybarragan]

yeah, i agree. tho i do love my sweet potatoes too. why do they have to be so high in carb?! :(

<3

[LosingtheFat]

Ooooo I'm so trying this with veggie broth! = )

[rockybarragan]

let me know what you think!

[happydimples39]

I will try that. I am trying to lose 15lbs. Thanks for sharing..☺

[rockybarragan]

let me know how it comes out and if you add anything differently.

you can get rid of those 15. just keep at it. mess up one meal...who cares....on to the next.

have a great weekend!

[sabrinasa21]

Great idea. Growing up my grandfather would mash carrots with the potatoes and that was really good also. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks a bunch for the video.

[rockybarragan]

oo i bet that would be good!

thank you!

[IamKris411]

I thought of doing this a while back - but back then I didn't - because I thought maybe it'd taste like baby food.... but if you say it's good - I believe you. Oh by the way - party in Allison's kitchen... lol ready? hehehe

[rockybarragan]

did someone say party? i'm there!

yeah, it actually does look like baby food that is why i put the "don't knock it till you try it" blurb in the side bar. lol cuz that is exactly what it looks like to me!

[freespiritcat]

totally trying these!! its like a sweet potato! PERFECT :)

[rockybarragan]

it is! man, i never though carrots could be so good. maybe i'm finally becoming an adult. yikes. :|

[uklili13]

I have some crock pot recipes for sweet carrots... might have to try them out.. very turkey day friendly! I will let you know :)

[rockybarragan]

umm..you plannin on sharin those crock pot recipes? i'm not saying anything...i'm just sayin....don't be holdin out! lol

[myhealthyweightloss]

I will be trying this!! Looks really yummy!

[rockybarragan]

thank you!

i saw that you upload a cooking vid today. i'll be over to your channel in a few. i love your cooking vids. especially the in the kitchen with momma ones.

<3

[myhealthyweightloss]

@rockybarragan Thanks.. just uploaded another. A response to your unfried chicken.

[strengthwithin82]

Ok Rocky im back! And thanks to your yummy new recipe's im very excited! You are so awsome chikkie.

[rockybarragan]

welcome back!!

[jullpete]

What a great side idea..I never would have thought of this. I'll have to give it a try!

[rockybarragan]

good. i thought it was just me that hadn't thought of this. lol no...seriously i did.

i'm definitely going to be doing these again and again. i have tried to cut down on the potatoes so this is such a great alternative.

[2active2]

Rocky, I was so happy to see you back doing video's again! I have been watching your video's here for 2 or 3 weeks! Oh, by the way, I went and checked out your carrot chips because I did some in the oven and it was a flop! Too rubbery or something. I think it definately needed the oil! So will try your carrot chips too!

[rockybarragan]

aww, thank you. i was only gone for a week but it seemed like so long. i actually could have been back a bit sooner but there was just one issue after another with the new laptop and webcam. i'm back now though!

let me know how the chips come out. those were so good. it was like a cross between a potato chip and a sweet potato chip. yummy!

have a great night!

[sazara123]

That's my dinner tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing.

[rockybarragan]

yay, thank you for watchin!

[supergirlnancy1]

Thanks for posting this ! i would definetly try it and the unbreaded chicken! =)

[rockybarragan]

let me know what you think please!

thank you! :D

[2ThousandAnd9]

Great idea, I enjoy some ginger and a little honey in my mashed carrots.

Take care and have a great day!

[rockybarragan]

ooo that actually sounds good. i'm definitely going to keep making this. i try and stay away from potatoes. they are one of my downfalls.

<3 thanks for stopping in sweetie!

[athomas1124]

i'll try this but I usually eat my carrots glazed like a substitute for candied yams but use carrots instead...

[rockybarragan]

oo glazed...now i have another way to try carrots. lol

[Mumzeeee]

Rocking the LOW CARBS!!!... thanks... you know how I roll.... sooooooooooo glad to see you!!!!!

[rockybarragan]

thank you! i'm soooooooo glad to be back. i can't even tell you how glad. i kind of got used to this place. ;)

[14beads2goal]

i usually do this with cauliflower but i am excited to try carrotts :o) it looks wicked good! Rocky have you written a cook book yet? If not you need to! you are brillant!!

[rockybarragan]

try it. it's definitely a good sub for potatoes. i'm going to make it again next week (not on vid though) and maybe toss in some sour cream.

aww, thank you for the sweet comment!

<3

[bunny9585]

im not really a fac of carrots either.. i'll eat them.. but I don't love them!!

Oh man.. I'm not sure if I told you but I made the cauliflower and parsnip mash!! soooo good!

Could you recomend a good spray? like for your pan to cook with, instead of using butter.. i'm trying to not use as much butter...

[rockybarragan]

wait....your username is bunny and you don't like carrots? lol

yeah but i know how you feel. i just never liked them. i still won't eat them raw. *gag* lol

I get the trader joe's olive oil or canola oil spray. those work great. if you don't have a tjs near you let me know and i'll go an investigate a different option for you.

<3

[bunny9585]

I know.. you would think I like them! LOL

I dont have a TJs by me.. you're so sweet you would look around.. I can do that too.. I was just asking what your thoughts were!

[mollybcutie2000]

yummy :) love that statement in the side bar. don't knock it till youve tried it! i'll be trying it.. btw i tried the eggplant parm. i don't think i let it cook long enough i'm going to try it again later.. :)

[rockybarragan]

lol i said that because it looks like baby food. and there was a time there where i would have been like "what the heck is that?" i guess i was projecting.

was the eggplant tough? there were some parts of mine that were but it was the parts that were a little thicker so maybe cut all your slices thin. either that or try roasting the eggplant first on it's own for a bit.
