I thought this was amazingly good. Sort of skeptical at first but I'm a convert. Used 1/2 butter and 1/2 Olive oil. Used a bunch of fresh radishes from the grocery store. Cut them in about 1 inch chunks and seasoned with just salt and pepper. Sauteed on med/med high and turned them occasionally as they browned. Not EXACTLY like potatoes but close enough to satisfy that starchy thing. Low carb too. I think the one person who thought this was bitter must have used old radishes. I was very pleasantly surprised at the creamy mild flavor. Definitely a keeper.

I used this as a base for another recipe too. Instead of halving the radishes I sliced them on my new mandoline at 1/16". I added some fresh celery sliced at 1/16" and finely diced. I added a liberal sprinkling of granulated garlic as well as the salt and pepper. Being thinly sliced they saute up very fast.

I sauteed some salt pork in place of butter/oil, added a few garlic cloves cut in half and then wilted the radish greens the last min or two of cooking. FABULOUS! PS...everything's better with bacon.

4.4.18 Sprouts has had beautiful radishes for the last few weeks, big, beautiful radishes, two bunches for a dollar. I found my fridge overflowing with radishes so started looking for new ways to use radishes. I'm not on a low carb diet (probably should be), but if you are, consider giving this recipe a try. I had a little piece of red onion in the fridge, so threw that into the skillet, used olive oil instead of butter, and these radishes turned out pretty darn tasty. O.K., they’re not quite as good as home fries, but I gotta tell you, they measure up well and are a compromise I could make. Next time, I’ll probably steam them for a minute or two in the microwave before they head to the skillet for sauteeing, but I definitely will be making this recipe again. Thanks for sharing this recipe, and you Keto Diet people, pay attention, this is pretty good!

We used a mix of red radishes and daikon and added some baby potatoes and a couple cloves of garlic. Made this with breakfast and sauteed everything with bacon fat, a pinch of italian seasoning flakes, salt and pepper.

This is yummy. I sliced thin so the radishes got a little crispy, added a little onion and fresh thyme. Sautéing takes the bite out.

I followed the recipe, using garlic powder as a seasoning. I was also making a sauteed cabbage side dish which I often use with shrimp. It is seasoned with only a little soy sauce. I combined the finished radishes with the cabbage which gave the cabbage a little added garlic flavor and complemented the radishes perfectly. I asked my husband if he liked the "new vegetable" with the cabbage (he had been eating it without comment) and he looked surprised. He said, "Sure, I always like these baby potatoes." When I told him that they were radishes he just raised his eyebrows and continued to eat. That constitutes high praise. The added benefit is that we are fighting diabetes and this was a great substitute for the higher carb potatoes that he loves and I no longer serve very often. We'll be eating this again.

I would never have thought that radishes would be good cooked, but to my surprise - they are delicious!! First of all I used about 1 T coconut oil. I cut a whole package of radishes (about 15) thin and added about 1/4 c thin sliced sweet onion. I cooked them on a medium high heat for about 5-7 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper. My family loved them! They are low in calories and make a great side for any meal. So glad I tried them!!!

This is good as written (I left out the salt), but even better with some of the other suggestions: thyme, garlic, tarragon. I also added onion. I will try it with mushrooms next time. Definitely a keeper!

I used a lot of butter and covered them and let it simmer. So delish! I never knew!

Delicious! I also sautéed in olive oil with onions and mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, then let it simmer in a little chicken stock. It was a great side dish to our entree!

Excellent! A recipe I wish I would have thought of or at least discovered sooner! I only had about half the radishes called for so I supplemented with a small chopped onion and a celery stalk. Cooked as directed with salt and pepper only - letting these two core seasonings work their magic and transforming these radishes into mild, subtly sweet bites! Very tasty and would make again. Thanks jennifer263!

I've done radishes this way for years. Toyed with different spices and had fantastic results. It's great how sauteeing takes the heat of the radish away and makes it sweet. Give it a try.

I added scallions to toward the end of the saute. Whites and greens. And I used a pinch of seasoned salt inplace of part of the salt. I also tried this once as written finishing with fresh dill and chives.

Am about to make using variant of herbes de Provence. Just wanted to comment on member who added grilled salmon. So, what’s for dinner tonight? We’re having sautéed radishes and I added a grilled salmon. Tomorrow roasted garlic with a touch of filet mignon. Sounds grate or is that great.
