ROASTED GARLIC MASHED FAUX POTATOES - LOW CARB!!!



Roasted Garlic Mashed Faux Potatoes - Low Carb!!! image

Ok, on Low Carb diets we use cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes. This particular recipe is a re-write of my Garlic mashed potato recipe. I just removed the exact same amount of potato and replaced it with the same exact amount of frozen cauliflower. Not only did I find THIS recipe much easier than using real potatoes, it tastes 10 times better and is LOADED with Vitamins! I'm forever giving this recipe out. I WILL be posting a recipe for "Low Carb, Low Fat Shepherd's Pie" soon, and I always use THIS recipe for the "Mash" potatoes you cover the Shepherd's pie with. I ask that you all please make THIS recipe for mashed potato when making my Low-carb recipe for Shepard's Pie for maximum benefits. This makes 12 SMALL servings or 6 larger ones (or 1 gluttony) Thank you!

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs frozen cauliflower (2 one pound bags, you can even mix it up a bit for fun and get 1 bag just cauliflower and the other )
1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (14 ounce) box of classic Philadelphia Cream Cheese (you can use 1/2 as much if you want to cut back on fat, but it will impact the recipe)
1/4 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons butter
milk or cream, if needed
salt
white pepper
chives (fresh or dried)
onion powder
garlic powder (totally optional, this is for garlic-holics)

Steps:

  • Steam the frozen cauliflower (all 2 pounds of it) until it's ready.
  • Separate head of garlic into individual cloves.
  • Toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in small piece of aluminum foil.
  • Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes.
  • When the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.
  • Mash the roasted garlic with a fork.
  • .
  • Place the cooked cauliflower into a food processor/Cuisinart along with the garlic, sour cream, cream cheese, butter, and salt and white pepper in a mixer bowl, and whip at medium speed until smooth and all the spices are blended.
  • OPTIONAL: Add cream or milk to adjust consistency. Note: If you are going to be using this as a topping for the Shepherd's Pie, you will want to keep it thick. If it's a side dish and you want it a bit thinner - go for it.
  • Enjoy, and tell me how you liked it!

ANOTHER MOCK MASHED POTATOES (MASHED CAULIFLOWER)-LOW CARB



Another Mock Mashed Potatoes (mashed Cauliflower)-low Carb image

I saw this recipe made on the new low carb cooking show on Food Network. I tried the recipe tonight and it is really so good - this is my spin on the recipe. This time, I omitted the rosemary and used raw minced garlic, but you may also use a few cloves of roasted garlic if you prefer. This version is different from many others as there is no sour cream and no mayonnaise. Real comfort without all that starch. (Note: Smart Balance is a lower calorie, cholesterol reducing butter substitute).
