I put together a "potato" salad using cauliflower instead of potatoes. I do like potatoes but I eat way too much of them and have been trying to find alternatives. I added black olives, tomatoes and hard boiled eggs and it isn't half bad. Not as good as the real thing but pretty good.
I really need to cut back on cheese too. It is one of my food weaknesses and again I eat way too much of it. Bread is another problem for me. I started using skinny bagels and just cutting back on bread. I really would like to shed the extra ten pounds I gained when I semi-retired two years ago. I've pretty much been carrying 8-10 pounds more than I'd like (I'm used to being skinny). Experimenting in the kitchen may be my answer.
Do you like to try new recipes?

There really is nothing like potatoes. But I need to try to cut back.

Yes, it's hard to lose around the holidays. I'm sure I'll cheat.

Some people don't like olives. Onions would have been good too but I didn't have any on hand.

Sounds good, with the exception of the olives. I hate them. And using them in anything would ruin the dish for me.

Another olive disliker. Hmm. Maybe some celery would have been good.

A funny song!
Why do you think you eat too many potatoes? Does one get fat from potatoes? That would be bad news for me. I love potatoes. If I never ate a noodle again in my life, I wouldn't suffer. Yet some days without potatoes - horrible. :-)
I couldn't live in a country with a mainly potatoe-free cuisine.
