I was inspired to bite the bullet and try mashed cauliflower. I cheated and bought the steamer frozen kind. I mashed in mini chopper w/ some RF sour cream. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it.

I think I need a better food processor as it still had some pieces in it and was not smooth. My question is am I expecting too much from the cauliflower? Is it supposed to be creamier? I read on some low-carb sites that people add some instant flakes (low carb type) for texture.

Any suggestions????TX

Mashed cauliflower is great, as long as you don't expect it to be mashed potatoes. I know that the low-carb sites tout them as being a "replacement." But the fact is, it's cauliflower.

I adore cauliflower--really. But it will never approximate a potato.

I do not like Cauliflower at all, I think it is the smell that is making me feel that way. BUT....I was doing the LCHF diet (Low Carb High Fat) and boiled a head of Cauliflower, sapped it in the microwave to make sure that all Water is gone. Take a fork and mash it, add heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper for taste.....and Woila....awesome food!

I was VERY surprised that it tasted so good, and it is a very good source of Protein....if you are worried about carbs.

Found this recipe while searching recipes options for the cauliflower. Of course it needs some tweaking and subbing of FF and RF items, but looked interesting:
