sounds unacceptable, but damn those things are good with some butter, sour cream and black pepper.

Try a sweet potato/yam. I switched to these a couple of years ago. Taste great, and you don't need butter and all the fixings.

Just made the switch also and also tried red skinned they are the two best for health reasons. Stay away from everything white.
