Jerusalem artichokes with garlic (Jerusalem artichokes with garlic)

This recipe is actually a work of English. Fran, the English teacher sent me these artichokes (which are not artichokes), accompanied by a recipe that I had to translate and make.
Never in my life had I seen them or heard of this tuber. They look like sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes, but their inside is white and their taste reminds that of the artichoke.
It has struck me so much that it belongs to the family of sunflowers and the plant has lovely yellow flowers.> If you want to read more information, you can see it here and here.
