Introduction
If you were a mashed potato lover, you might enjoy this alternative. We discovered it by cooking the cauliflower too long. Now, I wouldn't eat anything else.

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.

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.

Thanks so much for this recipe! I am on phase 1 of South Beach, so I have to eat lots of veggies, and potatoes are off limits! I had it tonight with my steak and it was really good. Next time I think I will add some LF sour cream and chives. - 8/25/09

I am so glad you enjoyed it! I rarely eat potatoes any more and I use the fat free sour cream and chives myself.

I added just a little milk, some lowfat cheese on top and baked this recipe. Even the kid who hates mashed potatoes ate it. And went back for seconds!! - 6/19/09

Good suggestions! I'm so glad your kids enjoyed it too. It is one of my favorites. I'll try your addition.

This is similar to the "caulimash" that I make. Pretty much just simple, mashed-up cauliflower. I know you think you want mashed potatoes -- but try this, it's truly good and you don't feel like you're missing anything. I often use yogurt cheese instead of sour cream. Cream cheese also works well. - 1/10/09
