I LOVE mashed potatoes and this recipe, while it does not double for mashed potatoes, has all the yummy stuff that makes them my favorite comfort food. The texture can be very closely approximated depending on how you mash them. I use an old hand mixer and they don't get at all gummy. The addition of the cream cheese supplies the creamy consistency and the chicken boullion adds a good flavor. This recipe is definitely a low carb lifestyle keeper!

I made this recipe even though my hubbie said he wasn't interested. As it turned out he loved, but I didn't. He thought it was a great potato alternative without any cauliflower taste, but my biggest complaint was the grainy texture.

I make my version with any dinner that has gravy...baked chicken, hamburgers with mushroom gravy, etc. This is a great recipe, but it really does not need to be very complicated. The best, and easiest way to make them, is just to boil the cauliflower, put into a colander for about 5 minutes to dry, then process with about 3-4 TBL sour cream, salt and pepper to taste until smooth. You can add any variations (like garlic, spices, etc but the cream cheese, heavy cream, etc are just not necessary. However, if you don't like cauliflower, you probably won't like these...they don't taste like potatoes, they taste like cauliflower.

Those already addicted to the taste of mashed potatoes may not find this an appealing alternative at first. But, if you've been starch/carb deprived for a few weeks, these "mock" mashed potatoes are gold. Hand mash or use mixer (food processor yields "gummy" results, even with regular potatoes. Try varying flavor enhancers like fresh grated romano cheese, or mix in oven roasted red peppers to give it an extra kick (place red pepper pieces in shallow baking dish greased with 2 TBSP olive oil, bake at 375 for 20 minutes, then add the entire pan contents to cauliflower and mix. Mmmm~!

Wow, George. This are so awesome that I make them twice a week. I am addicted to mashed potatoes and and on South Beach so reluctantly gave them up. Thank you for giving my favorite dish back to me. Of course we love cauliflower anyway, so it's the best of both worlds. Follow the recipe, it's fantastic.

This is perfect for those on low-carb and for those just wanting something different. After reading most of the other reviews, I will take their advise and roast the garlic next time. Raw was good, but roasted it a completly different taste. I agree that the cauliflower does need to be dried but I don't worry with the paper towel mess. I just drain all the water out of the pot I boiled it and and leave the cooked pieces in there. I return it to the stove and leave it on low for a few minutes and move the pieces around the pot. This gets enough of the water evaporated. Then I just use an immersion blender and mash all the ingredients together with the heat still on low. I think it's helps to get all the flavors blended. Everyone loves it.
