Awesome Garlic Cauliflower Mash

For those foregoing a lot of starch in their diet but missing some mashed potatoes, I have the recipe for you!

My wife and I make this and use it as a side dish or as part of the meal (such as lower-carb Sheppard’s pie). These are pretty easy to make (I make them after-all) and taste pretty great. My in-laws thought they tasted exactly like mashed potatoes. I think they do as well.

Ingredients

1 Medium/Large head Cauliflower
3/4 Cup Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup Shredded Cheese
3.5 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

Prep Cauliflower (take off stem and break into chunks… florets)
Bring pot of water to a boil and place in cauliflower florets
Let boil for ~6 minutes or until fork tender (It is almost always 6 minutes for me)
While cauliflower is boiling, add other ingredients to a large bowl (minus salt and pepper).
Drain Cauliflower and pat dry (typically lay some paper towels on counter, place cauliflower and then pat dry with more paper towels)
Place in bowl with the other ingredients and mix with hand mixer, hand emulsion blender
- If you have a Vitamix you can mix everything with variable speed 3-4.
Mix until desired consistency and add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!
