I’ve seen this recipe all over the web with different variations for quite some time now. As I’m always on the hunt for healthier food that my family will eat or even tolerate, for that matter, I decided to give this one a try. It’s supposed to be a replacement for mashed potatoes.
Is it? HECK NO!!! Although it still taste pretty good.
You will get no misconceptions here. Cauliflower has it’s own distinct flavor, as do potatoes. And I will tell you cauliflower DOES NOT taste like potatoes.
This dish is a creamy mashed cauliflower, flavored slightly with garlic, yum on anything, and Parmesan cheese. You could take this same recipe and make some REAL GARLIC MASHED POTATOES, though. Did I tell you cauliflower is NOT a replacement for potatoes?
