Low Carb Cauliflower Mash

103 ratings

Evoke your sense of comfort food with a big bowl of mashed cauliflower! Not quite a potato, but this is a Keto side dish staple. Mashed cauliflower tastes almost identical to potatoes, and the creative ideas are endless. Load your mash up with cheese, garlic, or any seasoning that makes you feel like a kid at the holiday table again!

Disclaimer

Salt is a pantry staple and parsley is used for garnish, so they aren't counted as the 5 ingredients.

Recipe Steps

25 min

  • Step 1

    Chop your cauliflower into florets, if necessary. Place it in a pot and cover with water.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Bring the pot of cauliflower to a boil and cook the veggies until they are soft and break apart easily - about 20 minutes. Drain the water, and stir in the butter. It’s okay if the cauliflower starts to crumble.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Combine the cream, garlic, salt, and pepper in the processor until the cauliflower is creamy and smooth.
    Step 3

  • Step 4

    Serve hot with chopped parsley and enjoy!

          Really good! I added a bit more salt and an extra half tablespoon of heavy cream to make it creamier.

            I used herb and garlic cream cheese with a touch of butter. It was great on the shepherds pie

            I wasn’t that enamoured with it. I wouldn’t put garlic in next time.

              I steam my cauliflower and the garlic. It mellows the garlic considerably. If it’s in there raw it c as n be hot and too strong

              This was my first food on Keto. It turned out really well! we had it with the Italian Meatloaf then used the leftovers for shepherd's pie. Will make it again soon.

                  It depends upon the head.

                I don't understand why this is tagged as dairy free when it has butter, cream, and optional cheese. Yes, I can use substitutes, but then the nutritional values are useless.

                  ExcellentKale744467 I would love to be able to do as you suggest but how do you do that? I only have the option to Quick Edit the nutrients and not the ingredients.

                  ExcellentKale744467 4 years ago

                  Edit the ingredients on quick edit and replace them with the alternatives that’s what I do :)

                  Going to make this but was wondering if I switch and use cream cheese what’s the calorie and net carb difference

                    ExcellentKale744467 4 years ago

                    Just use the quick edit nutrients and swap out some ingredients, I tend to find that best

                  Turned out really amazing. I think next time I’ll roast the garlic first and I really must get a full pound, I was shy by 4 oz and I need full size food processor.

                    I add a handful of grated parmesan and its lovely. Great as a topping for shepherds pie as well.

                      Would this work using Creme Fraiche instead of cream (can’t do cream)? Thought I would have my salmon fillet on top for dinner tonight.

                        Crème Fraiche and cream can be used interchangeably, no issue.

                      I made this recipe to top the shepherds pie recipe, and it was really good! I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.

                        The best - try it and you'll be glad you did. Perfect the cottage pie keto style

                          I always make this with the frozen bags of cauliflower rice. I just sauté it until all the water cooks out and then proceed with blending everything together. Soooo good, have made this countless times. Mashed potatoes, who?

                              Wish I had the recipe available in other recipes where it's called for.
