I love mashed potatoes…There is just something about them that makes me feel ’satisfied’. The warm, creamy, buttery flavors brings me back to the memories of Thanksgiving, which is fine by me any time of the year! I started making this dish about 4 years ago as an additional side for our Thanksgiving feast, and it has since taken the place of mashed potatoes all together! Whipped cauliflower makes a perfect stand-in for mashed potatoes. It has a similar taste and texture (honestly), and it really picks up the fabulous flavor of the caramelized onions and garlic in this recipe. Best of all, it has about one-quarter of the calories of typical mashed potatoes, and it has the added bonus of fiber to keep you feeling full and satisfied!
In this recipe I have included 2 methods for cooking…Use the microwave method if you are short on time!

Hi Katie!
I was wondering if I could use onion powder in place of the real onion, and if so, how much onion powder would be best? thanks for the help!! :)

Made this for dinner today. It was a little watery, but still sooo good. Tastes like a thicker cream of potato soup.

I made this tonight but steamed the vegetables instead of boiling them. It was great. My husband and 3-year-old — both annoyingly picky eaters — loved it! The consistency was perfect. I am on a no-dairy diet so I nixed the cheese and added about a tablespoon of vegan “butter.” Yummy! (It was the perfect complement to your meatloaf muffins.)
Thanks for the great recipe!
