MOCK MASHED POTATOES



Mock Mashed Potatoes image

Are you on a low carb diet, but miss mashed potatoes? Miss no more! The first time I made this for my husband he was skeptical, but he had thirds! This is great paired with steak medallions and sauted mushrooms in a wine reduction sauce.

Provided by Lori Heddinger

Categories     Vegetables

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 heads of cauliflower, or 2 bags of frozen cauliflower florets
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 pt sour cream
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. If using fresh cauliflower(more work, but my preference), cut the florets away from the core. Then cut larger florets into quarters and medium sized in half.
  • 2. Place cauliflower in large pot of salted, rapidly boiling water and cook on medium heat until very tender - about 30 minutes.
  • 3. Drain in large colander.
  • 4. Using cheesecloth or a non-terrycloth tea towel and working in batches, squeeze as much liquid out of the cooked cauliflower as possible. This is imperative to achieve the correct consistency.
  • 5. Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until very smooth. If you don't have a food processor, use a potato ricer or masher.
  • 6. Put pureed mixture into a buttered baking dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until the top begins to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes or brown spots.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Steam the cauliflower. This is the best way to cook cauliflower for mashed potatoes, as it helps to preserve the nutrients and flavor.
  • Mash the cauliflower. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or an immersion blender.
  • Season the mashed cauliflower. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the mashed cauliflower. Mashed cauliflower can be served as a side dish, or it can be used in other dishes, such as soups, casseroles, and shepherd's pie.

Conclusion:

Mock mashed potatoes made from cauliflower are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. They are lower in calories and carbohydrates, and they are a good source of fiber and vitamins. Mock mashed potatoes can be made in a variety of ways, and they can be seasoned to taste. They are a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, or they can be used in other dishes.
