    Since I really liked garlic mashed potatoes, I added garlic and parsley to this recipe and it made it even better. I really never eat white potatoes any more. Thank you for trying it and responding.

     I have made this before and will be making it again this afternoon. I definitely took the comments of others and will add plain yogurt & butter too. - 3/26/18

     I make this with chicken broth, several cloves of garlic and then when mashing I add laughing cow cheese instead of butter.

     This really was delicious. A great alternative to mashed potatoes. I added chopped garlic to the water while boiling the cauliflower and a little to them after I drained off the water, prior to mashing. - 4/18/12

     Very good recipe! I added garlic powder because I didn't have any cloves. Thank you for sharing this! - 9/25/11

     Absolutely loved this and will definitely make again - this is a keeper! My son tried some and thought it was delicious too. Didn't add the garlic but sprinkled a little cheddar cheese on top as I was eating it as my main meal. Thanks for sharing. - 6/28/11

     The taste was excellent! My kids didn't eat it, and I think that may be because of the texture. It wasn't as smooth as mashed potatoes. Next time I will steam the cauliflower and then puree it for a smoother texture. But it was DELICIOUS. Definitely making it again! - 5/9/11

     OMG I'm hooked on mashed cauliflower after one try! I didn't think I would actually enjoy this recipe, I was just looking for a low carb and healthier substitute for mashed potatoes but I have to say, I've made this two times and two days and it was soooo delicous! - 10/21/10

     I was looking for a 'mashed cauliflower' recipe like my dad makes; this one is perfect! We had it with spicy grilled chicken tonight and it was perfect!

    For anyone wanting a more 'mashed potato' feel, if it's got a little bit of salt it really helps. You can always use a food processor for textur - 10/9/10

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Now, I also use the food processor for a few seconds and it makes them just right. They really can go with any meal or I eat them alone for a snack when I am hungry.

     Sounds so yummy I'm going to make this right now - can't wait!!! - 4/11/10

    I hope you enjoy them. They have replaced potatoes in my life and I am healthier for it.

     I used garlic powder and I can't believe it's not butter lite. I steamed my cauliflower but needed to cook it longer because it wouldn't mash into a complete creamy consistency. My fault, not the recipe's. Try this one for sure, just make sure to cook your veggie until it is VERY soft. - 3/8/10

    Thank you for trying this recipe. I really do get a nice consistency now and never eat white potatoes any more. Love it with garlic.
