In reply to Melanie. If the cauliflower is cooked soft enough it should

I have a kitchen aid mixer (no blender, immersion blender, or food processor). Will the mixer work to get the creamy texture?

This is delicious and similar to how I do it. But our bodies do not need carbohydrates for energy. There is no minimum requirement for dietary carbohydrate whatsoever.

My grandmother makes mashed cauliflower for my grandpa all the time, and her tip for getting the cauliflower dryer is to saute it in the pan a bit after draining it. I try to eat vegan, so I substituted plain almond yogurt alternative and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a single head of cauliflower (I don’t measure spices unless I have too…). I cooked it until the texture was dry enough to our tastes, stirring frequently. with a bit of salt and pepper, it tasted just like mashed potatoes with a good pan gravy. My grandma’s never tasted that good, despite having good texture!

I usually like to cook once and eat at least 3 times. I was making pork with gravy and a side of roasted acorn squash. I have had some fails in the past with frozen mashed potatoes, so I decided to make mashed cauliflower. It worked great! I steamed two heads of cauliflower, used butter and whipped cream cheese which I mixed with my immersion blender. I can’t say it tastes like mashed potatoes, it tastes like cauliflower. We love cauliflower, so it was a win win! Tonight we had leftovers that had been frozen, they were just as good as the night I made it. Will definitely make again. Thank you for a delicious recipe!

I made this recipe to go with Cajun pork loin with mushrooms and onions for supper tonight. I didn’t tell the Hub it was mashed cauliflower until he finished it and loved it! This is going to be our new go-to side dish as we are both Diabetic and cutting carbs drastically. Thank you Katie, You Rock!!

Such a great explanation of why cauliflower over potatoes! I always heard that white foods in general were to be avoided so I assumed cauliflower wasn’t that great either. Love learning something new 🙂

I made this recipe with roasted cauliflower to cut down of the moisture and give it a deeper/more interesting flavor. Then I added the sour cream and Parmesan as suggested. It took FOREVER to blend this to a smooth consistency in my Vitamix (don’t have an immersion blender), but the results were well worth it. I don’t think they tasted a bit like mashed potatoes, but were a creamy yummy side for turkey and your grain-free stuffing nonetheless.

Thanks for all the great info and a recipe that’s sure to become a winter regular!

I mix 1/2 and 1/2 potatoes and cauliflower myself for family gatherings and add Bragg’s nutritional yeast seasoning instead of cheese for vegans and if you like garlic go gently it can really overpower the cauliflower.

Do you think It would work if I mixed 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 cauliflower?

I love the idea of adding veggies to our meals anywhere we can but my question is, why not regular potatoes too? Seriously they are an iron food when skins are left on and have quite a bit of potassium, calcium, vitamin c and b6 along with a little protein. I know the S.A.D. includes waaay too many potatoes but like everything else, in moderation, potatoes are a wonderfully healthful food. Its a shame so many people are tossing spuds saying they have no value but being empty carbs- just not true. I’ve done a recipe similar to this with mashed cauliflower and turnips mixed in with the potatoes to get my brothers’ children who are picky eaters to get more veggies in their holiday meal. They gobbled it up and never knew the difference and it was about a third of each veg. I started my children off right eating mashed egg yolks, liver, and sardines as their first foods at 6 mos, then going to veg and not getting any grains until they had molars and my children are not picky eaters at all. The funny thing is that at friends and family b-day parties they usually get picky not wanting to eat the hot dogs or hamburger or pizza. I don’t hide the veg for my own children at all- instead we celebrate the veg, discussing what vitamins they are getting in each and make whole meals around certain veg at diff’t times of year.

I’m obsessed with cauliflower rice at the moment. I get the frozen organic from either Costco or Trader joe’s, what do you think of those? So easy and versatile!

Thanks for sharing this recipe!
To the replier who posted ‘caulitators’. LOL! Love it!
I, too, do not use a microwave, and haven’t for for 6+ years. My husband was totally frying every plastic dish in the house, even my brand new Tupperware :/. Out went the nuker AND most of the plastic!

My friend substituted half of her mashed potato recipe with mashed cauliflower and said it tasted NO different. Maybe start out there and then move to all cauliflower the next go round.

I’m thinking you could substitute sour cream or cream for plain yogurt, for a healthier way to make it.
