This creamy (healthy) alternative to traditional mashed potatoes is a hearty side for any main dish. I am not going to say it tastes "just like" mashed potatoes because it doesn't. But it's a clean and delicious side that will fill the mashed potato void none the less. See the post for alternative spice ideas and serving suggestions.

Steps:
- Place the cauliflower in a microwave safe dish with a lid on high for 8 minutes, or until soft. Remove from microwave and take off the lid to let steam escape. You want the cauliflower to dry out a bit. See the post for tips.
- Transfer the cauliflower and all ingredients except bacon and cheese in a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth and salt and pepper to taste if you need to. Add almond milk or heavy cream one tbsp at a time if you need more moisture to get it smooth.
- The texture should be smooth. Transfer to an oven safe serving dish or six ramekins. Top with cheese and bacon. Broil for a couple of minutes to get a nice golden crust (watch it closely). See post for alternatives and tips for baked cauliflower mash (yum).

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: For the best results, use a head of cauliflower that is fresh, firm, and white. Avoid heads that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help the cauliflower cook evenly. You can use a knife or a food processor to cut the cauliflower into florets.
- Steam the cauliflower until it is tender: You can steam the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water, or you can microwave it on high for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
- Mash the cauliflower with a potato masher or food processor: Once the cauliflower is cooked, mash it with a potato masher or food processor until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add your favorite seasonings and ingredients: Once the cauliflower is mashed, add your favorite seasonings and ingredients, such as butter, cream, cheese, bacon, and chives. You can also add other vegetables, such as broccoli or zucchini.
- Serve immediately: Cauliflower mash is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it in the microwave or oven.

Cauliflower mash is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. It is low in carbs and calories, and it is packed with nutrients, such as fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
