  • Question
    Can this tortilla be made with parsnips instead of potatoes?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it can, but consider roasting the parsnips in a thicker slice, which sweetens the flavor. Boiled or sauteed parsnips might not suit every person's palate.

    Can I use sweet potato instead of potato?
    Community Answer
    You can. Just remember that it will taste differently. Sweet potatoes are sometimes twice the size of the potatoes you would normally buy - if this is the case, use fewer than the instructions in this article say to use.

    Is this Mexican too?
    Community Answer
