     This is a MUST for a south beach style diet! I've always made mine with cauliflower, butter, onion and garlic powder, AND... add a can of white kidney beans to the cauliflower before you mash. It is the closest thing you'll ever get to real potatoes without the potatoes. Try it on Shepherds Pie!! - 6/9/11

     I love cauliflower and eat it often but by no stretch of the imagination is it anything like potatoes and is much better not mushed up into a soggy wet mess. The only similarity to potatoes I can see is that it is white, completely different taste and texture. - 11/11/14

     I also mix equal amounts of potatoes (with skin) and cauliflower, no sour cream, just skim milk. Not whipped, but "smashed". Garlic and pepper. Let others add their own butter. Everyone in my family who "hates" cauliflower, loves this. They have their vegies and always ask fo more - 11/17/10

     I cannot eat dairy and have used various recipes but this is very deliousious, using nondairy sour cream but my choice is non dairy cream cheese as it is just much more rich and delicious and about the same calories

     I really liked this recipe. So did several of our Thanksgiving dinner guests. Unfortunately my guys learned that it wasn't real potatoes, and did not consider cauliflower a good substitute for mashed potatoes. So, I ate their share. Yum!! - 11/26/10

     This is very good, but husband says to call it mashed cauliflower, and quit pretending, it's still "mashed cauliflower", hates people trying to fake some veggie to make it more palliative ! Enjoy! - 7/28/15

     I LOVE these!!! I usually go to Ruby Tuesday just to get their faux mashed potatoes. Now I can make my own!!!

    I used fat free sour cream and calorie free spray butter. Still, they are great. Added garic, pepper, and salt of course. - 1/6/10

     Wow, this was actually pretty good! My 10-year old daughter LOVED it (I still haven't told her what it really was, NOT mashed potatoes) and my husband loved it too! - 2/3/09

     This very delicious and SOO close to the real thing. It is also good with cheese and/or ham. - 1/11/09

     I steamed the cauliflower, pureed it and stir-fried it with it with shallots garlic, cumin seeds, one sliced green chilli and turmeric powder. This was accepted more than the mashed version - 11/12/19

     This is delicious - but it does not taste like potatoes. If you tell yourself if will, you will be disappointed. If you want to make a cauliflower recipe that tastes good - this is is. Don't try and trick anyone - just tell them it's a new way to eat cauliflower! - 11/11/19

     This is a little bland for our family, but seasoning to taste with Nosalt and pepper made the difference. it made a wonderful side dish, but i would probably not take to get-togethers. - 2/3/13

     We make faux mashed potatoes frequently but don't add the sour cream. Going to give this a try with some garlic, & dry out the cauliflower a bit. - 10/17/10
  • PANDASUIT

     I love cauliflower in any way, shape, or form. Have you tried it roasted as a whole head with some seasonings and a bit of sauce? - 11/11/20
