When you are trying to cut the carbs, these "mashed potatoes" are a wonderful substitute for regular mashed potatoes.
Prepare your cauliflower by separating the florets and placing them in either your vegetable steamer or, as I prefer to use, my Instant Pot and steam until your florets are quite soft. About 10 minutes in a steamer and about 5 minutes in an instant pot.
While your are steaming your cauliflower, put your olive oil in a skillet to saute your pressed garlic clove. You only want to cook it until the garlic is softened.
Next transfer about 1/2 your steamed cauliflower to your food processor. Cover and blend on high. Gradually add the remaining florets until they form a creamy texture.
Now you can blend in the rest of the ingredients (parmesan, cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste). Blend until creamy. Place in serving bowl and enjoy!
I have garnished this with some parsley or chives, even. I've also added some onions to the garlic and sautéed them together to change up the flavour. You can also change spices, as desired.
