Roast chicken with broccolli, cabbage and carrt and swede mash sounds ok, doesn't it? Until you peer into the gravy boat and remember that there are no spuds to soak it up
In my experience of this, you will eventually tire of trying to find decent potato substitutes because there simply aren't any. Squash, sweet potato, parsnips, swedes - all ultimately shīte because what you actually want is potato and they simply cannot match up.

Much better to go the bean/lentil route and do something more interesting with those in lieu of potatoes.
