Cook them & mash them as you would white potatoes, but instead of
milk, use half & half. Liberally add freshly ground nutmeg, as well as
freshly ground pepper. Salt to taste.

Some people like to mix them with mashed potatoes, ration of your
choosing.

I am not sure if they are a acquired taste, or just something that one
is either born liking or hating. The Hub & I are quite fond on them.
one of the kids is tolerant and the twins would rather die than eat
them.
