Keto Bacon Fried Radishes

Eating keto has definitely opened me up to some new food experiences. Take this dish for example. It looks like fried potatoes. Guess what? It also tastes like fried potatoes. But it's not potatoes. 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

But seriously. 

Radishes are a great low carb substitute for potatoes and, in dishes like this, are magic. 

Okay.... if we are being totally honest the first bite or two is a little weird because you know it's not potatoes but your brain is still trying to figure things out. But then, as you continue eating, it gets more and more like fried potatoes. 

I can't wait to try more radish as faux potatoes recipes.
