Low Carb Scalloped Potatoes - Make This.

 Creamy Au Gratin Radishes?  You will not be sorry. (I promise they don't taste like radishes).

Recently I was out shopping when my sons started playing with some produce. One of them had this radish in his hand. I thought, that would be cool to experiment with in a scalloped potato-like dish! So I let him put it in his little cart and moved my offspring on to destroy peruse another isle.

I often enjoy cooked radishes. But for this recipe I'm not talking about the little red ones. We're talking daikon radishes. Like a long white carrot.

The result was so good - a rich and creamy comfort food dish....

This recipe surpassed my expectations. I could not believe how good it was! I mean - we're talking radishes here. Not commonly thought of as a very delectable food. Just know that when cooked, they taste completely different than their spicy raw selves. More like a turnip/potato.

On a cold and rainy spring day, this was some pretty awesome comfort food loaded with flavor.

Side Note: I have included a dairy-free option.  For personal reasons, I am usually dairy-free. I am not allergic to dairy but it does make me break out if I eat enough of it so I usually steer clear. I did try this dairy free as well and it was really good! The photos are of the dairy free one with parmesan and almond flour.
