Jamie Oliver's Sauteed Jerusalem Artichokes

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a sequence of eight, on a food blog, can inspire you to cook...  right?  Don't you just want to drop everything, get peeling and make this dish ASAP?  See how the Sunchokes crisps up like french fries?  Can't you smell that last splash of vinegar instantly evaporating in your pan? 

Yummy, easy, from Jamie Oliver...'Nough said.
