[hopgoblin1]

Is their anyone that has this recipe? I heard about it from a low carb chat.

Just do a search in the food section for it, or for "fauxtatoes" and you'll find several posts with recipes.

Cool

Will Do. I heared that they taste just like real mash potatoes!

They don't taste like real mashed potatoes, they definately have a cauliflower taste and texture, they aren't bad however.

You surely have tried these by now. I LOVE them. Can use fresh or frozen cauliflower..cook until very soft and drain, can also steam in microwave..drain well. Put into food processor with a small cream cheese, salt/pepper, grated mild cheddar cheese and a couple of spoonfulls of sour cream..YUMMY.....because they trick the eye, these also trick the taste buds. I never want real mashed potatoes anymore. :icondance

Learn from my mistake: Cook the heck out of the cauliflower and drain very well.

I had some leftover broccoli from a party along with cauliflower that I threw into my fauxtatoes. Here's my recipe:

2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1 tablespoon shredded cheddar
1 cup broccoli florets
.5 cup cauliflower (all I had left)

Boil veggies for 20 minutes and drain. Blend with remaining ingredients in processor or blender; nuke for 30 seconds if it's not hot enough.

Approx. 3-4 servings

Fauxtatoes rock!

WOO HOO!

Can you use something besides a food processor? I don't have one of those.

[loosinit]

I just use the potato masher. Probably has a little more "texture" than if done in processor but I like it that way.

If you don't like the taste of cauliflower, try these recipes with turnips. I boil them like potatoes and then mash, add cream cheese, bacon and sour cream. It is delish!!!
