This recipe is a riff off my favorite way to eat French fries – sprinkled with feta cheese.    That’s how I’ve eaten French fries all my life, and to this day, I haven’t found a better way.  The only other thing that completes the perfection is a drizzle of garlic-dill butter on top!  Subbing sunchokes for potatoes here, I think the result is quite spectacular.  If I do a blind-taste, you would probably think these are very young and tender baby potatoes, just dug out from the earth – that’s how these sunchokes taste – sweet and tender, and quite reminiscent of actual potatoes.

Sunchokes, or Jerusalem artichokes have nothing to do with artichokes or potatoes.  They are the tuber of a species of a sunflower plant.  Raw or cooked they really resemble potatoes in taste and texture, and therefore can be prepared in the same manner – boiled, baked, pureed – with the only difference that sunchokes can also be consumed raw.

This is a quick and easy recipe suitable for an appetizer or snack, or even side dish.   Prep work is minimal, and the rewards are big.  If you don’t feel adventurous enough to try sunch0kes, do try this same recipe with potatoes!

  2. I have been browsing online more than three hours
    today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers
    made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever
    before.

    Incredible photography- I just wanted to reach into my screen and grab one of these. Perfectly simple recipe too- I’m going to give this one a shot myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Wow! This was THE BOMB. I didn’t have butter so I used mayo and it was more than fine. I feel like this is a new hidden weapon in my arsenal.
