Fauxtatoes - Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

Low fat and carbs but lots of flavor. Try this instead of mashed potatoes.

Ingredients


Preparation

Roast garlic in 350 ovens for about 40 minutes, covered with foil.

Bring large pot of water to boiling. Add 1 tablespoon. salt. Boil cauliflower for about 7-10 minutes or until completely cooked through but not mushy. Drain well.

In food processor or blender, add drained cauliflower and remaining ingredients. Puree.

The potato flakes give it just enough of that "potato" flavor to make it nice without adding too many carbs or calories. Some people like to start out with more potato flakes and cut back in successive recipes as they (or their families) get used to the flavors.

Mashed cauliflower is in my regular rotation. I've never used the potato flakes though. My recipe calls for a small amount of cream cheese to make the puree thick and fluffy. I also, use the garlic and a little parsley.

I was really hopeful, but it still tasted like cauliflower! Sigh.

I got major kudos from the mister for this one. I'd like to try it again to try to achieve a thicker consistency, but it was really delicious. Add more garlic for taste!

watery and garlic didn't work to create enough flavor

Hubby liked it very much, though I wasn't able to make it even close to mashed potatoes. A very interesting way to cook cauliflower!
