Low Carb Cauliflower Mash

99 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.

Cauliflower

1 pound
Butter

1 tablespoon
Heavy Cream

1-½ tablespoon
Garlic

1 clove
Salt

⅛ teaspoon
Black Pepper

¼ tsp
Parsley Raw

1 tbsp

Step 1

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

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

  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?

  I don't think you can make Cauliflower Mash without using cauliflower. You might be surprised by trying it made like mashed potatoes. I sometimes add some cream cheese to it, too. That makes it pretty tasty.

  The cauliflower must be almost dry before you mash it. The water is what smells and taste too strong. I cook the cauli around noon and let it drain all day....then my husband likes it!

  If you want to correct the macro, add the cheese as a separate food to your meal :) hope it helps
