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.

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.

These are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! My kids loved these mock mashed potatoes and didn't even realize that they were made with cauliflower.

I thought these mock mashed potatoes were just okay. They were a little bland for my taste, even after I added extra salt and pepper.

These were easy to make and tasted delicious. I liked that I could use ingredients that I already had on hand.

I was skeptical at first, but these mock mashed potatoes turned out great! The cauliflower gave them a nice texture and the cheese and butter made them rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.

These mock mashed potatoes were a hit with my family! They were so creamy and flavorful, and no one could tell that they weren't made with real potatoes. I will definitely be making these again.
