Reviews
bacon bits and some ranch dressing mix make this even better
Taste was very good. First time ever eating cauliflower. A little runny, but was my own fault. Used 1 lb of cauliflower and did not reduce other ingredients. Two teenage boys ate them and went back for more. A little cheddar sprinkled over the top was a great addition. Will become a regular addition for meals calling for mashed potatoes.
No changes. Liked consistency. Very tasty.
Ended up adding too much milk so it was runny, but the flavor was good. Don’t expect it to taste like potatoes, though.
I generally don’t eat cauliflower but decided to try this to incorporate into my low carb diet. I quit learned that using a blender is definitely not a good idea. It won’t blend without enough liquid and that said, it would be too watery. A food processor is the way to go! I added garlic powder to bump up the flavor a bit and it made a big difference.
Excellent! Definitely get out ALL the extra moisture that you can because I didn’t and it ended up runny. That said, the flavor is delicious and my whole family or potato-lovers likes this fine! Total win!
Finally made this today! Absolutely delicious! My daughter knew it wasn’t real potatoes and was hesitant to try it but she did and was very impressed. I’ll definitely be making it again soon!!
Added a hint more cheese, but we absolutely LOVED this recipe! Rich and creamy. Faked out even the pickiest of veggie eaters.
Taste is close enough. Texture is a bit different. All in all I really like them!!
Wow that came out really good! I added extra butter for a better keto effect!
I made this twice. First time, I boiled the cauliflower and was able to mash it with a potato masher. I also used garlic powder instead of cheese. Yum! The second time, I was in a hurry & steamed it in the microwave. Had to put it in the blender to mash. Tried it with the cheese..?? Much better with garlic…Excellent alternative to potatoes with beef when you are on a low carb diet!
I roasted the cauliflower so there was no moisture issue at all. I cooked it at 425 for 25 min then put it in the food processor, added cream and off I went!
This recipe still had a very strong cauliflower taste without much flavor.
Served with Holiday lunch, our youngest married son does not like cauliflower and was hesitant to try this and assured us he would let us know how bad it tasted. He had two helpings and had his wife copy the recipe so they can make at home.
I made this but I steamed it and left out cream,was pretty good but doesn’t taste like mashed potatoes,wound up making potatoe pancakes now these where so good
The only thing I did differently for this recipe was stream the cauliflower rather than boil it. That kept the cauliflower from getting runny. It was excellent and can be modified with any seasoning/cheese you want!
I forgot the cream but it turned out great without it. I also added a couple of garlic cloves for “garlic-mashed cauliflower”–yum, that worked out well, too! A healthful and tasty substitute for mashed potatoes but much more filling.
Love it!!
First time trying out this recipe. The texture and taste is good substitute to mashed potatoes.
Next time I make this I will leave out the cream also. Too runny, the consistency out of the blender would have been perfect.
This has the right idea but a couple of flaws. First, it should be noted that the cauliflower should be very dry before mashing or the results won’t be thick enough. Knowing this is an issue of concern because I’ve made this before, I knew adding the cream would not be a good idea so I left it out. Also, I wish I had added the Parmesan “to taste” rather than the full amount, which for my taste was too much. In addition to being a little too Parmesan-y, this needed some rounding out of flavor, and was improved a great deal with a little pepper and garlic.
