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

Notes Fauxtatoes - Roasted Garlic Mashed Cauliflower 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.

I could definitely tell this was cauliflower. The consistency was a little runny for my taste (I even added less milk) I'll try it again but I'll take others suggestions of steaming not boiling and adding some real potatoes for better texture.

Fabulous. Did not add the potato flakes as I did not have any. This is THE best way to ear cauliflower.

Wow... I didn't even need the potatoes. Fantastic and got quite a kick from the pepper and tapatio I added.

Delicious! I added nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, no potatoe flakes. Definitely saving this one!

Love this recipe! I added Boursin Cheese (Garlic and Herb) to the mash and it was fabulous!

Not bad! Definitely couldn't tell it was cauliflower! Next time I will cut back on the pepper.

Yummy! A good blender is a must!

sooo good. used real potato and a head of garlic and garlic salt.

This was good. I had a hard time pureeing it for some reason, need a stronger blender I guess.

FANTABULOUS!!!
my guests were impressed and I didn't even put potato flakes
|

A good alternative to the all carbs indeed. I like it, my family liked it, and I used powdered milk to thicken and a creamer base to it. Worked well.

Tasted just like mashed potatoes! My husband, 2 yr old, and 3 yr old loved it.

Diagnosed as prediabetic. Mashed potatoes were one my favorite foods. This recipe has become one of the anchors of my diet.

Do NOT boil for this recipe . Cauliflower is like a sponge . I only ever steam ours for about 10 min. Try coarsely chopping in a FP and lightly stir fry or nuke until just tender . You will have a much more flavorful and drier consistency.

Surprising how much this recipe is like mashed potatoes! Good flavor and very easy to prepare.

Once this was all said and done I added a little bit of Garlic salt and for me this really finished it off nicely.
