    switching what ingredients?

    eggs and potato are the base for this recipe... including the Dashi... which could be subtituted by some light broth 50-60g of flour is like 2 tablespoons :p

    I was talking about the yamaimo would there be another potateo to use. I know my grocery stores have idaho, red, and this one I can't think what it is called off the top of my head but I know it is really cheap. I think it is used in baking.
