Ok, so these are not your mama's mashed potatoes. Sam and I have been experimenting in the kitchen and last night he made these incredible mashed "potatoes" using cauliflower. Y'all they are so divine and creamy and totally healthy and low-carb (if you're watching them). Also, they are gluten-free! I'm being extra June Cleaver and making a pot roast tonight to go with the leftovers.
Mashed "Potatoes"
based on this recipe
You will need:
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
splash of chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Method:
1. Clean and cut the cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes (or until tender). Drain well. Do not let cool. Pat cooked cauliflower very dry.
2. In a blender, add the cauliflower + rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender or food processor. Enjoy!

I made mash like this about 4 months ago, I may have gotten the idea from you...and they were delicious!
ReplyDeleteso glad you liked them freya! honestly, these are so dressed up i would have never known they weren't the real deal.
DeleteI love mashed cauliflower! It's so smooth and yummy. I'll have to have B try this recipe :) I think we've been making it w/out the cream cheese but cream cheese makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteTotally gonna make these. This is the second time I've seen them on a blog in the past two days, and I'm always looking for new things to do with vegetables. Cauliflower is not generally my favorite, but I just might like it if it were cheesy and creamy and somewhat resembled mashed potatoes. :) 1/8 teaspoon chicken stock?! That is SOOOO TINY!
ReplyDeletei've wondered if these are any good! thanks!

ReplyDeleteI love mashed potatoes. I always would tell my mom to make it for me. They taste really good with coconut oil and butter.
