    Glad U liked! U can always treat them as if it were a "loaded potato" & their just as good frozen & reheated too! I've also used them to mak a 'Shepherd Style" Pie!

    LOVE it. They are so delicious and it really is a great substitute for mashed potatoes. Even my husabnd, a cauliflower hater but potato lover, thought they were great. (I only used the cauliflower, cream, butter, salt and pepper... so simple!) - 6/26/08
