If you really miss the whole potato thing, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than mashed potaoes...and they taste great.
I agree with you.. know what's funny, though? All my paperwork regarding the five stages of our diet have mashed potatoes as one of the few allowed starches in stage 2 (pureed stage) through stage 5 (maintenance).. odd, don't you think? I found that to be a bit of a head scratcher.

I can tolerate some mashed potatoes, but only a tablespoon or so.. certainly not worth taking the time or trouble to make it.
