Smashed Cauliflower

This is definitely going to join the rotation. While the consistency was more like grits than mashed potatoes it was very tasty. I experienced the same issue reported by many with respect to it being too moist. To resolve it I used the good old corn starch/cold water thickening agent. Although it adds some carbs ( I used only about a Tbsp) after removing all the moisture ( n

Mine turned out spectacular. Had a small head of cauliflower, so added 1 cup of broth. Drained broth, added a pat of butter, 1/4 cup of white cheddar, 1/4 cup parmesan, a dash of roasted garlic powder, some salt and pepper an smashed it all with a tater masher. YUMMY GOODNESS! I think I’ll make a big batch for the Thanksgiving potluck!

I made this recipe but took the advice of reducing the amount of broth. I did 1 3/4 cups of broth and it still did not reduce enough, so I drained the excess. I added only 3 tbsp of butter and also added garlic powder, grated and shredded Parmesan instead of the cheddar (because I didn’t have it). It came out good, but I’ll probably still tweak it more the next time I make it. Good start to my keto repertoire.

Did you ever get a cheese with the thought that you’ll try it… only to have it sit in your fridge for months? Well, this recipe called for white cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. I had no cheddar!… but I did find a chunk of “Prima Donna Mature Red” in my cheese drawer. I had no idea what kind of cheese it was but after a quick Siri search I discovered it is a different/replacement for Parmesan. Oh my, it was hard to cut, but I did finally find some soft cheese in the middle of that rock-hard wedge, and I didn’t even nick myself in the process! The cheese had a tangy, robust Parmesan flavor, so I added it to the drained, boiled cauliflower, in the food processor with a pat or so of butter and a spoon of Greek yogurt, and no-salt (I’m watching my sodium), pepper and a sprinkle of garlic powder. The result was that it was smooth and creamy and absolutely delicious! Yummy-freak’n-yummy! So, the cooking technique for the cauliflower was spot-on, as well as the seasonings, and I did add yogurt as a previous reviewer suggested.

I added less chicken broth and the added orange cheddar, chives , oh and bacon, can’t forget the bacon, lol. Yummy

My boys loved it!!

Excellent !!

I have made several times and always very good. I prefer to add 1/2 cup or sour cream. Can use many different cheeses.

OMG!! I didn’t imagine that I would like this as much (if not more) than mashed potatoes. And super healthy! I make this often and I like to substitute some of the cheddar with smoked gouda just because that’s my favorite. You could really explore with different cheeses. Even my husband loves it and he is definitely a potato guy!

Not bad. I steamed it over the broth instead of boiling it in the broth. I let it steam a very long time and used only the drained cauliflower, not any liquid broth, in the finished product (since it had steamed a long time, a lot of moisture was already in the cauliflower – adding any broth would have made it too soupy). It mashed up well using an ordinary potato masher. I did add a little powdered chicken soup stock and sour cream. With all of the cheese, butter, and sour cream this is probably not all that healthy – maybe next time I’ll cut back on those ingredients and see how it comes out.

Made this and loved it!

This was a great way to substitute a starch with a veggie! Next time I’ll use less broth (too liquidly).

Exceptionally yummy! I made this for the family for New Years day. Even those who don’t care for cauliflower loved it! If you follow the recipe exactly and cook the cauliflower until the liquid boils down to half it is definitely not runny. I think the other reviewers must have missed that step This was a big hit with everyone and I followed the recipe exactly. I will definitely make this again!

I love this recipe. I added a little minced garlic, because we like garlic. Definitely making this again!

Really yummy! I used veggie broth instead and just Parmesan cheese to make it a bit healthier. I also added some paprika on top at the end.

This was a winner. My only modification was to drain the chicken broth off of the cauliflower before adding in the other ingredients. My family loved this.

Reduce chicken broth. Still to thin. Maybe a bigger head of cauliflower?

This was so good, fast, and easy to make. I strained the cauliflower after it boiled, so it wasn’t runny. I forgot the butter, and it was still good. This will definitely be my go-to substitute for mashed potatoes.

I needed to drain some liquid because otherwise it would’ve been too watery and mushy. Once I drained it and finished preparing it, it was delish! My guests couldn’t get enough of it 🙂

Was very good but i steamed the cauliflower with about 4 cloves of garlic in the broth. I did not have the white cheddar cheese so I used more parmesan.

So delicious and easy! Thanks for the recipe!
