Not sure what you're doing or not doing, but I think it's a great
substitute. Maybe I like it because I don't expect it to be an exact
duplicate. I just whiz it and add some parmesan cheese. I don't plop
it on a plate, I use it in place of potatoes in recipes like
shepherd's pie.

Jeeze, man. Use some imagination!

My favorite use for it is to mix with sweet potatoes at least 50-50.

Roasted for both is a given. I roast most of my vegetables these
days.
