My daughter loves mashed potatoes! Who doesn’t? But, after going AIP, we couldn’t have white potatoes, I had to try my hand at Mashed Cauliflower aka “Fauxtato’s”!
OMG! I couldn’t believe it! They taste just like mashed potatoes! They totally passed the husband & daughter test!
Whether you are AIP, Paleo or just want a low carb option to potatoes, this is the perfect recipe. This Mashed Cauliflower Dish is a perfect alternative to Mashed potatoes for your Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Holiday Dinners.
Ingredients:
- 1 lg head of Cauliflower coarsely chopped
- 1/2 – 1 Tbs. Garlic Powder to taste
- 1/2 – 1 Tbs. Onion Powder to taste
- 3 Tbs. Ghee or Grass-Fed Butter (leave out for AIP, if you need liquid, add 1-2 Tbs. Bone Broth or EVOO to desired consistency) (Use EVOO if vegan)
- sea salt to taste
- fresh chives for garnish (optional)
- water
Directions:
- Add water to a pot, like this one, for boiling or steaming cauliflower.

- When cauliflower is done, drain.
- Put in the food processor with Ghee, Butter. (bone broth or EVOO for AIP)
- Add sea salt, garlic & onion powder to taste. (I like a lot)
