Carrot Mashed Potatoes
Everybody loves potatoes, but on a low carb diet, they are very demonized. What most people don’t realize is that even though they do contain a lot of carbs, they also contain a plethora of good stuff! Vitamin B6, B3, C, Potassium, Fiber…the list goes on.

What I’m trying to say is that while it may not be a good idea to eat a potato with every meal of the day, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the occasional “indulgence”. Chirpy is all about having whole, natural ingredients and that’s exactly what potatoes are, right?

Thank you so much for taking the time to give your valuable input, Jennifer! 🙂
These sound so good…I’m imagining they taste quite like mashed sweet potatoes. Am I wrong?
Hey Karly! Well, while they do look like mashed sweet potatoes, I think they taste ten times better. The flavor is way more savory (and carroty) than mashed sweet potatoes! 🙂
amazing recipe and photos.
Thank you, Profi!
