Mock Mashed Potatoes image

Are you on a low carb diet, but miss mashed potatoes? Miss no more! The first time I made this for my husband he was skeptical, but he had thirds! This is great paired with steak medallions and sauted mushrooms in a wine reduction sauce.

Categories     Vegetables

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 heads of cauliflower, or 2 bags of frozen cauliflower florets
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 pt sour cream
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. If using fresh cauliflower(more work, but my preference), cut the florets away from the core. Then cut larger florets into quarters and medium sized in half.
  • 2. Place cauliflower in large pot of salted, rapidly boiling water and cook on medium heat until very tender - about 30 minutes.
  • 3. Drain in large colander.
  • 4. Using cheesecloth or a non-terrycloth tea towel and working in batches, squeeze as much liquid out of the cooked cauliflower as possible. This is imperative to achieve the correct consistency.
  • 5. Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until very smooth. If you don't have a food processor, use a potato ricer or masher.
  • 6. Put pureed mixture into a buttered baking dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until the top begins to brown.

I've tried other cauliflower mash recipes before, but this one is by far the best. It's so creamy and delicious.

These are a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. I also like to add a little bit of chopped onion and celery to them.

These are a great low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes. I've also made them with sweet potatoes and they're just as good.

I've made these several times now and they're always a hit at parties. I usually double the recipe because they go so fast.

I was so surprised at how good these were! I didn't think cauliflower could taste like potatoes, but it really does.
