Mashed faux-tatoes

Snacks

February 25, 2023

This is the most amazing alternative to mashed potatoes you can make. My entire family was fooled when I served these up for Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago, and there were no leftovers!

PREP TIME

10 minutes

COOKING TIME

20 minutes

YIELD

4-6 servings

 

1 head of cauliflower (about 4 cups)

4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon Herb Salt Blend

Black pepper to taste

 

SIDE NOTE

If you can’t eat butter, try adding roasted garlic for more depth of flavor.

CHANGE IT UP

If you don’t have a food processor, mash the cauliflower by hand with a potato masher. Try serving it with Mini Chorizo Meatballs.

Chop the cauliflower into roughly 2-3-inch pieces.

Steam the cauliflower until it is fork-tender, and place it in a food processor. Add the butter, Herb Salt Blend, and black pepper.

Purée until smooth and creamy.
