Fauxtatoes

I just realized that this is one that I haven’t shared with you. I can’t believe it. It’s one of the best tricks-that-I-stole-from-TV recipes I have. Bonus is it is very simple.

The Goods

  • 1 head cauliflower. 2 if you have more than 4 people
  • butter
  • milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

The needs

  • A big pot
What we are going to do is make mashed cauliflower. Yes, just like potatoes. Yes, just as yummy. Ready?

Boil or steam the cauliflower until it is very tender. A fork or knife should easily slide in. Strain. Bring them back to your pot and finish like you would mashed potatoes. The texture won’t be quite as smooth, but you should be able to get it pretty close.

Additions
  • A bit of garlic in the pot while you cook would be nice
  • Add a small amount of horseradish during the mash to kick them up a bit
  • Chopped green onions or parsley would go nicely as well

Best With

Use these like you would mashed potatoes. Serve them with beef, pork, chicken or fish. Keep the gravy boat in the cupboard tho as it will be way to heavy and overpower the taste.

If you cook these ahead and mash them without butter, refrigerate and add a small amount of red wine vinegar. Serve with salad greens.

Enjoy!
