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

Tools Needed:

• Large Pot
• Food Processor 

Directions:

• Add water to a pot, like this one, for boiling or steaming cauliflower.
• Add cauliflower to water & bring to boil. Cook for about 10 min. or until fork tender.
• 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)
• Blend until desired consistency. (you don’t want it too soupy) Add bone broth or more Ghee (not AIP), EVOO, or butter as needed.

Topping Ideas:

• Add bacon bits & chives for loaded Mashed Cauliflower “Potatoes”
• Add in 1/4 – 1/3 c. Nutritional Yeast for a “Cheesy” taste.
