Foodie Flicks: Leaving potatoes behind and getting into grains

by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Oct 20th 2008 @ 3:02PM



How long can you do mashed potatoes? As a potato fiend, my answer to that, and french fries, would be: "Forever!" That being said, it's good to keep in mind that there's a full world of alternatives out there when talking about side dishes.

In the above Cooking Coarse video, Chef Todd Mohr runs through a number of grain alternatives that can replace a potato in your next meal -- like corn meal and quinoa. He runs down the particulars of each grain, some history, health benefits, and cooking basics.

Moreover, if the above video gets you jonesing for cous cous, you can check out the next installment of the show, which relays a ridiculously simple and quick way to whip some up.
