An Alternative to Mashed Potatoes

Many people loved mashed potatoes, but are not in love with the amount of starch or carbohydrates in a serving. However, there is an alternative that is as tasty as mashed potatoes; in fact, it’s difficult to tell the difference between the two.

Mashed cauliflower. It’s simple. It’s tasty. And, it has the taste and consistency of mashed potatoes, but with some additional nutrients.

First, boil some fresh or frozen cauliflower in salted water until fork tender. Then, drain the water from the pan. Place the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until smooth. It only takes a moment. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processor to make certain all of the cauliflower has been processed into a smooth consistency.

That’s it. All that’s left is to flavor the mashed cauliflower to meet the individual taste preferences and enjoy. Add more salt, if you’d like. Or, add some butter, a bit of extra virgin olive oil, or a bit of extra virgin coconut oil. Add some cheese, some chives, some parsley, or some Cheyenne pepper. Simply add whatever flavors you would normally enjoy in your mashed potatoes.
